And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
Remember Eddie Little Sky, an actor from the '50s, '60s and '70s Westerns? He was Oglala Dakota. When he retired, he and his wife Dawn Little Sky, who also acted, returned to the reservation where he worked for the Tribal Parks and Recreation Authority. He was encouraged to get into acting by Audie Murphy. I always admired Eddie both as a person and as an actor.
and: pipestone Catlinite, also called pipestone, is a type of argillite (metamorphosed mudstone), usually brownish-red in color, which occurs in a matrix of Sioux Quartzite. Because it is fine-grained and easily worked, it is prized by Native Americans, primarily those of the Plains nations, for use in making ceremonial pipes, known as chanunpas (Lakota: čhaŋnúŋpa). Pipestone quarries are located and preserved in Pipestone National Monument outside Pipestone, Minnesota, in Pipestone County, Minnesota, and at the Pipestone River in Ontario, Canada.
