Chief Seattle and Black Elk were two Native American spiritual leaders on par with Jesus and the Buddha according to my take on things. They had dreams and visions as accurate and valid as anyone’s ever. And they took the loss of their land and their people in as mature a way as anyone ever has. It was/is our arrogance and our shame that we have treated them and their people as ignorant savages without honor, without holiness, without commendation, without acclaim. We need a Wailing Wall on the Mall in Washington to commemorate Native American civilization and their place of honor among all the peoples of the earth, equal in every way with all the other peoples worldwide.
