About Me

LAKOTA WARRIOR FROM CHEYENNE RIVER SIOUX TRIBE, THE MINICOJOU BAND. THE BAND THAT TOOK OUT CUSTER. GREAT GREAT GREAT GRANDSON OF CRAZY HORSE. Tusunke Witko(Crazy Horse) Minicojou Lakota from Cheyenne River Sioux. I WAS BORN AND RAISED BY NATHAN LITTLEWOUNDED & FLORA LITTLEWOUNDED, ALONG WITH THE LITTLEWOUNDED OYATE OF DUPREE SOUTH DAKOTA.....CO-PRODUCER TO THE DOCUMENTARY MOVIE, "RIDING WITH GHOSTS," DIRECTOR & PRODUCER TO THE DOCUMENTARY MOVIE, "SPIRITS FOR SALE(IN WHICH SPIRITS ARE NOT FOR SALE)." ADVOCATE FOR THE LAKOTA PEOPLE, SPEAKING ON BEHALF OF OUR ANCESTORS, DEFENDER OF THE BLACK HILLS, LAKOTA NAME, "TOKA OLAE(NATHAN LITTLEWOUNDED LAKOTA WAR NAME),", MEANING (LOOKING FOR THE ENEMIES) "RIDING WITH GHOSTS" A DOCUMENTARY THAT WILL MAKE YOU THINK ABOUT YOUR OWN PAST AND ISSUES. www.ridingwithghosts.com ------------------------------------------------------------ "Spirits for Sale!"--------------------------------------"Spirits for Sale!"------------------------------------------------------ ------------------- There will be a time in life, when the White Buffalo Calf Woman appears to the Lakota people, again. When that time comes, she will say, "Was it worth it, to sell our ways of praying?" This will be a hard time for the people, a sad time, but will be too late. Too late to care for our sacred ways of praying to tunkusila(grandfather), Wanka Tanka(Great Mystery), will it! Cause, in our time of living, it is our responsibility to stand up & speak out, to protect these ceremonies!These ways are NOT TO BE SOLD! NOT TO BE ABUSED! We are only children of the creator, put here on mother earth to have a voice for love, gratitude, peace & harmony with each other. Not have someone charge us for going to sweat, to be put on the hill(humblecha), to sundance, to become Native! These ways are not meant to be made into a corporation. These ways were given to us by someone very special in our hearts(white buffalo calf woman). My Grandfather Crazy Horse fought and died for this dream to live on. My relative Chief Bigfoot and relatives died at Wounded Knee for a dream to broken and rebuilt. Rebuilt by us, the living now, the descendants of these great relatives who fought and died. So we can be here today, to struggle, to love, to have a vision for a better tomorrow for our children.All we have to do is believe in a dream! It takes only one, to start a revolution, a sundance, a gathering of warriors to take on these tasks of protecting our ways. These ways have become more political than ever, people fighting over who has the right to pray or not, this Lakota way. If we dont stop fighting amongst ourselves, then only then, she will come, Wakinyan's(thunder beings) will come and take these ways or praying, away! THEN WHAT! THESE SPIRITS ARE NOT FOR SALE! This is a documentary movie, that I have recently finished. A message from the people and the children of our homeland(Black HIlls). A documentary soon to come out in Spring 2007. A Jerry Clown Production, Directed & Produced by Jerry Clown. May the creator be with you all. Hoka HeyJerry Clown

I'd like to meet:

I'd like to meet CHE GUEVARA, commonly known as El Che, was an Argentine born Marxist Revolutionary, political figure, and leader of Cuban and guerrilas. As young man studying medicine, Guevara travelled throughout Latin America, bringing him direct contact with the impoverished conditions in which many people lived. His experiences and observations on these trips led him to the conclusions that the regions socioeconomic equalities could only be remedied by REVOLUTION, promting him to study Marxism and travel to Guatemala to learn about the reforms being implemented there by President Guzman.Che says,"This isnt a tale of heroic feats, Its about two lives running parallel for while with common aspirations and similar dreams." CHE IS A CULTURAL ICON BECAUSE OF HIS CAPACITY TO PROVIDE EMPATHY AMONG SPOILED YOUTH OF THE AFFLUENT WEST. Che represents, an aspiration for every human being who loves freedom. To most a complete human being of our age! CHE LIVES! CHE LIVES! CHE LIVES! CHE LIVES! CHE LIVES------------------------------------------------------- -----------Documentary Film Review: ***********WINNER**********WINNER******************** MONTREALS FIRST PEOPLES FILM FEST.2007 'SEQUENCES' BEST DOCUMENTARY PRIZE... Séquences Best Documentary PrizeRIDING WITH GHOSTS A tenuous, mysterious thread runs through the pieces of lives the documentary assembles on screen. Fine, almost invisible sutures stich together the disparate elements making up this film mosaic illustrating the torments of a wounded collective psyche and sketching out the arcane paths through which healing can take place. For a masterful work of art, with a deep feeling of forthcoming redemption emerging beneath the seeming chaos of broken lives, the Séquences magazine jury awards the Best Documentary prize to Jim Starkey and Joe Hubers for Riding with Ghosts."Riding with Ghosts"Riding with Ghosts is a story of struggle and strength, pain and healing. This is a story of the Lakota Nation; straight from the voices of the people on the streets and reservations across South Dakota. Confronting ghosts of the past, these voices articulate the struggle with dominant society and how healing has been found through traditional Lifeways in the face of the Occupation. Told from the mouths of grieving mothers, gang members, and earnest seekers, this film confronts the stereotypes which threaten to place the Lakota Nation forever on the shelf of tourist trinkets and clichés. 83 minutes An Passenger Production & Oyate Underground Production- James Starkey (Director & Producer) Joe Hubers (Director & Edit) Jerry Clown (Producer)

ENUFF, IS ENUFF, TO YOU-A LAKOTA PRAYERI SAY THIS TOO IN THE MOST RESPECTFUL WAY, TODAY. ON THIS DAY, SEPT.11, 2007-THE DAY OF THE 9/11 HIJACKINGS AND DESTRUCTION OF THE TWIN TOWERS.I REMEMBER A TIME, WHEN THE LAKOTA PEOPLE OF THE GREAT SIOUX NATION. LIVED IN PEACE AND IN HARMONY WITH EACH OTHER, AND WITH UNCI MAKA(GRANDMOTHER EARTH). A TIME, WHEN MY GRANDFATHER CRAZY HORSE, BIG FOOT, FIGHTS THE THUNDER, LITTLEWOUNDED, HEYOKA, BADWARRIOR, WORM, JULIA IRON-CEDAR..LIVED AS FREE LAKOTA'S...PRAYING THE LAKOTA WAY, A WAY GIVEN TO US BY HER.THE SACRED WOMAN, WHO CAME FROM THE BUFFALO NATION. CAUSE, ONE DAY THE TWO LEGGEDS TOLD THE BUFFALO. PLEASE DONT EAT ME NO MORE. I'M AM LAKOTA, I WANT TOO LIVE, I WANT TOO PRAY, I WANT TOO TRY..SO THE BUFFALO NATION HAD PITY ON THE LAKOTA PEOPLE. AS WE EVOLVED AND LEARNED HOW TO BE HUMAN. THE LAKOTA PEOPLE, STILL WERE NOT LIVING AS ONE SHOULD BE. THE CREATOR AND THE STAR NATION WATCHED AND PRAYED FOR US. GRANDFATHER THEN TOLD THE BUFFALO NATION TO HELP ONCE AGAIN.SO THEY HELPED IN A FORM OF A WOMAN. WHO CAME TO US ONE DAY. WHEN TWO LAKOTA WARRIORS WERE OUT ON A HUNT. TO TEST THE MIND AND HEART OF THE WARRIORS. SHE CAME AS A BEAUTIFUL WOMAN. THE FIRST WARRIOR, FAILED CAUSE HE HAD BAD THOUGHTS OF TAKING THE WOMAN FOR HIS OWN. THE SECOND, SEEN HER AS SOMETHING SACRED AND SPECIAL. SO HE PRAYED AND PRAYED. THE SPIRITS HAD PITY ON HIM. SHE SAID, GO AND PREPARED FOR MY COMING. AS, SHE GAVE INSTRUCTION TO THE LAKOTA MAN.HE WENT BACK TO THE LAKOTA CAMP. AND PREPARED THESE THINGS FOR HER ARRIVAL. AS SHE CAME, FIRST AS A BUFFALO, THEN INTO A WOMAN HOLDING A BUNDLE. SHE WALKED TOWARDS THE CAMP, SINGING AND MOVING GRACEFULLY, LIKE THE MORNINGSTAR WOMAN, WHO MOVES ACROSS THE UNIVERSE.ITS THEN, SHE TAUGHT THE LAKOTA PEOPLE THE SEVEN RITES OF PRAYER. TO LIVE AS ONE SHOULD BE. TO HAVE A CHANCE TO CARRY ON SOMETHING VERY SPECIAL AND SACRED. AS MY GRANDFATHERS & GRANDMOTHERS FOUGHT AND DIED FOR THIS WAY OF LIFE TO BE PROTECTED AND PRESERVED FOR OUR CHIDLREN. WE REMEMBER THOSE: CRAZY HORSE, LITTLEWOUNDED, HEYOKA, FIGHTS THE THUNDER, BLACK ELK, FOOLS CROW, VERNAL CROSS, BAD WARRIOR, CHIPPS AND OUR RELATIVES WHO DIED SO BRAVELY AT WOUNDED KNEE.ITS CAUSE OF THE, I-JERRY CLOWN WILL STAND FIGHT FOR OUR WAY OF LIFE TO BE PROTECTED. FOR THOSE WHO ARE MISUSING OUR WAY OF LIFE, ABUSING OUR CHILDREN AND WOMEN IN SWEATS AND CEREMONIES. FOR THOSE MEDICINE PEOPLE WHO ARE NOT LAKOTA'S. IT IS ONLY SAID, ONLY LAKOTA'S CAN BE WICASA WAKAN'S(HOLY MAN) IN OUR LAKOTA WAY OF LIFE. DOESNT MATTER IFYOU KNOW THE LANGUAGE OR NOT. THIS IS OUR WAY OF LIFE! A WAY THAT HAS BEEN MISUSED, ABUSED, FORGOTTEN NOW! ONLY OUR CHILDREN SUFFER NOW FROM DRUGS, SUICIDES, SHAME.WE MUST STAND NOW AS A LAKOTA NATION. TO PROTECT WHATS BEEN GIVEN TO US FROM HER, THE WHITE BUFFALO CALF WOMAN. I WILL TAKE ON THIS JOURNEY AND FIND THOSE WHO ARE ABUSING OUR WAY.WITH THE HELPS OF OUR WARRIORS AND OUR INDIGENOUS WOMEN STANDING STRONG, PROUD. TEACHING OUR WAY OF LIFE, AS IT SHOULD BE. OUR NATIVE WOMEN, THEY ARE THE HEART OF NATIVE AMERICA, NATIVE HOMES. WITHOUT THEM, WE ARE NOTHING BUT BODIES WITHOUT SPIRITS. TOGETHER WE CAN HEAL MOTHER EARTH AND EACH OTHER. WE FIRST MUST PROTECT WHATS OURS. THE DREAM IS NOW, ITS HAPPENING, ITS TODAY, ITS TOMORROW, WE ARE ONE!
