“The founding of GIC speaks to prophecy, the reconnection and

reawakening of our people – all of our people - the First People of the

Earth. In the Lakota-Dakota way, we believe that we are now in the

Fourth World, Wahúnuŋpa Makȟóčhe, The Land of the Two-Legged

Nations. Wahúnuŋpa is a Holy One from the dawn of creation, a most

powerful grizzly bear, the first two-legged to step upon our Mother, the

Earth. Once more, the fulfilment of prayer and prophecy is upon us. In

these last few years many of us unified to protect the Great Bear and the

sacred lands the Great Bear in turn protects for us.”
