"Those who are healed do not talk about it among themselves and spread the news. That is not the Lakota way. If a thing is holy and sacred, if it is a miracle, it is not talked about. It is too special for that. Visions we receive are in the same category. They are something personal between Wakan Tanka [The Great Sacred] and the seeker that affects the whole of his or her life. Even the person's family will not discuss it or tell their friends."
Frank Fools Crow
Lakota medicine man
What an interesting and welcome counterpoint this is to the attitude of our modern culture!
