Sacred Poetry

Teton Sioux (Lakota) Dance Stick

When the Horses Gallop

This beautiful creature

Heaven sent

Rider of the lands

Gallopers of the sky

These divine steeds, offspring of the Wind-Gods
We ask you for your blessing
Give us your strength
Share with us your beauty 

Take us where our Gods have been
Show us the land of eternal greatness
Bless us with your powerful leadership
Leading us down the path to our survival
