Introduction to LAKOTA CULTURE 115
When feelings of inferiority and shame come to us, our tendency is to blame others. Lakota Elder Larry Salway says healing only begins after we recognize that we alone are responsible for our own Broken Sacred Hoop. Larry also points to hope for healing.
This video is part of our Mentor Training series, "Lakota Culture". We also have a series on Poverty.
Larry Salway grew up on the Rosebud Reservation in southwestern South Dakota. He rose out of the poverty of his childhood and became a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and later, a professor at the Oglala Lakota College campuses in Kyle and Rapid City, SD. He served for five years as Tribal Judge in Pine Ridge, SD. Mr. Salway has also served as pastor of churches in Arizona and South Dakota. Larry is Co-President of Life Initiatives.

The Result of a Broken Sacred Hoop
The deterioration and breaking of our Sacred Hoop comes very quickly.
Although our tendency will be to blame others, healing begins by first recognizing we alone are responsible for the breaking of our own Hoop.
The laws, principles and values that describe a healthy Sacred Hoop have been written down.
Also written by the elders are things that can be done to heal the Sacred Hoop.
