"The Sioux are raised in the Sun Dance and it is the highest expression of our religion. All share is the fasting, the prayer and the benefits. Some in the audience pray along with the dancers, everyone is profoundly involved. And because of this the Sioux Nation and all the peoples of the world are blessed by Wakan Tanka."
Fools Crow,  Oglala Lakota

"In our morning Sunrise Ceremony, when we sing the four sacred songs, we bring forward all the Medicine Fathers and all the sacred beings in the universe hear our prayers."
