stolen from the net. Various Beliefs.

-Hunkpapa Lakota, "Sioux" is what dominantSociety calls us in error,

-30K? nation wide, a number I read about 20yrs ago, currently most Lakota now mix w/ others, only PureBloods / fullBloods are about 50yrs & older (average)

-Creator / the Great Spirit / 2 advanced humans, Most likely Female as "God" because Lakota culture is matriarchal society based and we elevate females. Family is important to us. From that you see what we see as far as who is "God" in childs eyes and the men (Mom). Simple as that, no classes, no priesthoods, no ordnances, no gospels, just family units back to beginning.

-no founders, no prophets, no One person elevated above others, but recent history would tell you of WhiteBuffaloCalfWoman (a Female Goddess) that visited humanity and showed the way to live.

-no books, we descend from advanced people, theStarPeople, who in their cosmic migrations found Earth long ago, those that settled here were as the Creator Gods and society that followed them walked in high living & high technology, to include using the (now feeble) mortal mind 100%+ and w/ full cognitive abilities there was no need for notebooks, recording devices, cameras etc because the Soul/thePerson was Eternal (mortalBody temporary) and had ALL experiences from Eternities of Living out there in Cosmos and on various Earths & knowledge from Others that was shared freely "recorded" upon them/in them, Each mortal person was eventually expected to find higherSelf and "Connect" back to the Ancestors and fully w theCreator and to Connect any current Mortal itteration to their higher God self and continue life out there-elsewhere in theVerses. But as society fell, then rose, and fell and rose etc mortals relied upon external things to help remember. Our past 300 to 1000yrs ago saw influx of pelts / animal hide where pictographs of important events & people were drawn to record things, From last few thousand years was always Oral stories & songs that recorded information too, Awakened Lakota know of DNA access as well and most are individually seeking the old ways. Even Lakota tipi, regalia/native dress, language etc is another form of external things to help us, Small things but great as theLakota tipi tells you of vortexes, stargate, time tunnel travel, and wormholes, black holes. All things yet again external and mortal.

-a matriarchal society reveres it's strong females who step up to lead Families and often who bear children and continue Lakota ways of life. Even modern Lakota ways had WOMEN owning material things, owning tipi and who was in charge of husband & wife relationship, and men often did hunter gather roles and warfare / peoples protection job.

-a Creator that lives, ancestors literally from / of Off this earthworld, Life and existence is eternal, family units kept small & close and a few Lodges / tipi travel together and on up to larger groups meet & gather periodically then scatter. Ethos / commandments, creeds similar to today's various good teachings global, Pray and meditate daily, Connect w/ Creator, be friends and allies to ALL people and all other Beings the Creator made (animals, fishes, birds, insects, creeping crawly things, bigfoots, yeti, giants, reptilians & reptile-human hybrids, canine/wolf people "aliens" etc)in peace.
As society now awakens to itself more, Lakota and other Natives & worldwide indigenous will soon stand up in unison and in detail, w/ historical facts, accurate dates, names, places On & Off world. And most w/ access to their Lineage artifacts will show the world OUR history and true cultures that once existed on Earth in full,

Dominant society seeks to suppress things much better than itself.
Natives know Earth does society reset periodically so we don't worry about genocide and cultural suppression. We know know Earth is a Female, we KNOW things from the beginning

We are Lakota.
