00:00Among the Lakota, probably the best known, the most widely respected, is Arvo Looking Horse,

00:18the 19th generation keeper of their sacred pipe. Looking Horse has also been doing some very good

00:24work for a long time, fighting for the protection of ceremonies against abuse, against fraud and

00:29exploitation by outsiders and by charlatans, and by people who take advantage of those who

00:35don't know any better.

00:59And there's no way that our people should be paying a medicine man.

01:06That's not right now.

01:09Yeah, we're going to try our best to stop everybody, yeah?

01:14The joke around here is these medicine men all wear a diamond ring and they're driving

01:20the Cadillacs.

01:21That's the medicine in front of us.

01:25And then when they get up to pray and everything, everybody's like, oh, God.

01:29Well, the Pope said, take your teepee down, get the hall home, you want me to go out of here.

02:00I have a high, high respect for him.

02:03He's our leader.

02:04He's the leader of our people.

02:06He takes care of that Chinooka.

02:08He knows the language fluent.

02:09He knows all those ceremonies.

02:11And I know that he works for the Creator.

02:13You know, to me, he's like talking to the Pope, you know?

02:17That's what I feel like I can hear in my heart, you know?
