“A native policeman wore a white man’s uniform, lived in a frame house, and earned a monthly salary at a time when his fellows lived off government rations. Such status and income could be a powerful “civilizing” influence, and the officer could be a major force in ending traditional practices such as dancing, polygamy, and the power of the medicine men.”
Joe Jackson, Black Elk: The Life of an American Visionary

“Wowasake kin Slolyapo Wowahwala he e. —Hehaka Sapa”
