Kȟe Sapa & Paha Sapa - Holy Land Of The Sioux Nation

All over the internet we have read that He Sapa or Paha Sapa in the Lakota language meant the Black Hills. Most will believe this until they see what we ran across earlier tonight. We found a July 29, 2009 article by Russell Means. While the terms are talking about the area known to non-natives as the Black Hills, there is much more to it in the native culture.

There is no one that can tell native legends, stories and history like the native people, especially those who have studied them extensively. The information is told with such beauty and in a way they were taught by the elders. In the article, Mr. Means tells of the beautiful meaning of the native terms Kȟe Sapa & Paha Sapa. In doing so, it helps everyone to better understand what the Black Hills really mean to native people.
