Today we watched a film about the a sacred, spiritual sight that the Lakota tribe and others worship. The film was about how the people who live around the worship area, which is more famously known as Devi’s Peak, and how many tourists and adventurist rock climb this sight. This outraged the natives because this is a religious land mark for them. It is where they perform ceremonies at different times during the year. It is their place of worship, to have people climbing up and down, and poking it with metal rods is very disrespectful to them. It is equivalent to people climbing churches and mosques for fun. This is a place of worship and is part of their religion that they practice. But they are not able to stop people from climbing their land mark because to the climbers as well as the local and state governments, their religious practiced and sights are not considered to be part of their religion because it is outside, it is a part of nature, and therefore cannot be considered a religious sight. This outraged me and made me very disappointed to see how many people are so narrow minded and how much the views of other people conflicts with the natives even today.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
