TO CRY - TO HEAL - What is the cure for writers block, I was asked a few weeks ago. My answer was to get a pen or pencil and a piece of no line paper and let the words and phrases flow out from your heart. " Put your hands on your heart " sings Joanne Shenandoah in her beautiful song - Heartbeat - for as the words in the song translated from Oneida to English sing - " The drum is the heartbeat. " There is where the Spirit lives. TO CRY - TO HEAL In Remembrance - In Honor One day in 1970, less than a year after graduating with a BA in early American history from Ohio Wesleyan University, I stood on that prairie hill on the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation in South Dakota. It was then and there my ' real ' education in ' true ' early American history began. Over a century ago, one morning a few days after Christmas, in the cold winter snow of 1890, over 200 Minniconjou Sioux and Hunkpapa men, women and children were slaughtered by the 7th Cavalry at Wounded Knee. [ The 7th Cavalry would later receive 23 Congressional Medals of Honor. ] The dead were buried in a mass grave on the hill that rose above Wounded Knee Creek. The Oglala hero, Buddy Lamont killed in the 1973 Occupation of Wounded Knee, is buried nearby. The beauty of history is that in time historical markers and history books may " get it right ". Wounded Knee was first called a battle, then a tragedy, and finally a massacre which it truly was. I heard this most beautiful song while listening to my friend on the Northern Cheyenne Reservation tell of her experiences along the 1972 TRAIL OF BROKEN TREATIES. Northern Cheyenne people gave this beautiful song to The American Indian Movement. I will never forget 1970-1971-1972-1973............ There are so many things that still come back to me about those days.
