Re Intro to Walter Mills a Lakota Elder Part II
Re intro to -- Walter Mills Lakota Elder Part II
September 21, 2021
Walter Mills, Lakota Elder
It is fascinating to get a view of life on the Pine Ridge Reservation in the 1940’s and 1950’s. A glimpse of what life was like for Native Americans at that time. One small fact was you could not purchase dog food at that time. So if you had a family ranch and loved dogs how did you manage? It was a pleasure to visit with Walter and have him share his experiences.

Great Podcast - Disappointing Guest
First respect to you Grandmother and thank you for sharing your offerings of Lakota culture. It is needed badly in these days. After listening to the first episode of Walter Littlemoon, I don’t appreciate his misinformation and slandering of AIM. His words sound just like those of Dickie Wilson and the murderous Goons during that time. Sounds of dishonesty. AIM has done more to restore Indian pride and preserve Native ways than any other groups on or off the reservations. Their work is still highly respected and honored today all over the world.
Glad you did this.
I appreciate you, and would love it if you made an episode about Heyoka.
My family is very focused on the sacred fool. And the white Grizzly Bear.
I’m almost finished with episode one and I can’t wait to hear your stories.
