It is not enough to have a vision. In order to have its power, you must enact your vision on earth for all to see. Only then do you have the power.

Give me strength to walk the soft earth, a relative to all that is.

And I say the sacred hoop of my people was one of the many hoops that made one circle, wide as daylight and as starlight, and in the center grew one mighty flowering tree to shelter all the children of one mother and one father.

Everything an Indian does is in a circle, and that is because the power of the world always works in circles, and everything tries to be round. In the old days when we were a strong and happy people, all our power came to us from the sacred hoop of the nation, and so long as the hoop was unbroken the people flourished.

As you walk upon the sacred earth, treat each step as a prayer.

The power of the world always works in circles.

I cured with the power that came through me.
