Shot-In-the-Eye, also known as Ista Ogna Opi, was an Oglala Lakota warrior whose life was intertwined with significant events in Lakota history, particularly the Battle of Little Bighorn. Born around 1835, very little is known about his early life, but his name suggests that he sustained an injury to his eye, likely during battle.

He participated in the Battle of Little Bighorn in 1876, where he likely lost his left eye, earning him his distinctive name. His presence at this historic battle underscores his bravery and commitment to defending his people and their way of life.

In 1903, Shot-In-the-Eye was mentioned in the New York Times article titled "Indians At The Garden," where he was noted as a member of "Colonel Cummins Wild West, Indian Congress and Rough Riders of the World" show by Frederick T. Cummins. The show featured a special presentation depicting the "Custer Massacre at Little Bighorn," highlighting Shot-In-the-Eye's involvement in this pivotal event.

On January 17, 1910, Shot-In-the-Eye was allotted land, and he was documented with another name, "White Mountain." His marriages were also noted in historical records, including his union with Woodpecker (Ske-luta-win) in 1858 and later with Red Bird (Zintkala Luta Win), also known as Susie-Shot-In-the-Eye. Red Bird was renowned as one of the fiercest Women Warriors who fought alongside her husband and sons Rock, Lone Hill, and High Wolf at Little Bighorn.

The photograph of Shot-In-the-Eye is celebrated as one of the most powerful images of a Native American. It captures the resilience, endurance, and determination of the Lakota people in the face of adversity, symbolizing their unwavering spirit and strength.

"I am an old woman now. The buffaloes and black-tail deer are gone, and our Indian ways are almost gone. Sometimes I find it hard to believe that I ever lived them.

My little son grew up in the white man's school. He can read books, and he owns cattle and has a farm. He is a leader among our Hidatsa people, helping teach them to follow the white man's road.

He is kind to me. We no longer live in an earth lodge, but in a house with chimneys, and my son's wife cooks by a stove.

But for me, I cannot forget our old ways.

Often in summer I rise at daybreak and steal out to the corn fields, and as I hoe the corn I sing to it, as we did when I was young. No one cares for our corn songs now.

Sometimes in the evening I sit, looking out on the big Missouri. The sun sets, and dusk steals over the water. In the shadows I see again to see our Indian village, with smoke curling upward from the earth lodges, and in the river's roar I hear the yells of the warriors, and the laughter of little children of old.

It is but an old woman's dream. Then I see but shadows and hear only the roar of the river, and tears come into my eyes. Our Indian life, I know, is gone forever."

Waheenee - Hidatsa (North Dakota)

Multi Dimensional Reality

The world as you know it - all that you see, taste, feel and touch, comprises only about 5% of all of the stuff of the universe. The other 95% is what we have considered "nothing" or the "firmament"  or dark matter or the heavens or mystic Other Worlds. This 95% is multi-dimensional and consists of potential realities that may be perceived.

A single thought...a mere whisper, ...... barely upon a breeze that catches a spark... all is tinder before the firestorm... and yet.
ONLY that whisper
ONLY that thought
 the world is forever changed beyond the fears and dreams of cardboard men.
Freedom and change starts within:
It is encouraged by truth and courage of people who love
Built by the respect of true beings standing as one before each other.
Lets us cross every man made borders
without fear stare into eyes and hearts of all our brothers and sisters: within our words without shouting,or force to hold each to our truths; and let us without fear freely share what works...

Matter, energy, motion

All matter is made up of energy, and that energy is in motion continually. Everything in the universe, from the smallest molecules to the most complex living beings, has an optimal rate of vibration to keep it healthy. We reach this high vibrational level when we are whole, healthy, and fulfilling our potential. Human beings are able to consciously control these…See More
