I found this quote somewhere and realized that when I translated it to Lakota, it sounded even more meaningful. It’s a reminder that when learning the Lakota language, you don’t need to translate things word by word; it is knowing the underlying meaning that makes it so powerful. Today, I offer this teaching not as something to accept, but as something to think about as it relates to your own path and journey. I’m not strong because I want to be, I’m strong because I have to be. Wacin ma hunkesn
