OFFICE OF HEALTH EQUITY
Tradition: It is our way to mourn for one year when one of our relations enters the Spirit World. Tradition is to wear black while mourning our lost one, tradition is not to be happy, not to sing and dance and enjoy life’s beauty during mourning time. Tradition is to suffer with the remembering of our lost one, and to give away much of what we own and to cut our hair short….Chief Sitting Bull was more than a relation….He represented an entire people: our freedom, our way of life -- all that we were. And for one hundred years we as a people have mourned our great leader. `Lakota
