"Perhaps the most important reason for Hembleciya (a vision quest - crying for a dream) is that it helps us to realize our oneness with all things, to know that all things are our relatives . . .
"and then on behalf of all things to pray to Wakan Tanka that He may give to us knowledge of Him who is the source of all things."
