Faith; Quotes by Frank Fools Crow

Roman Orona takes you on a journey around the world of Indigenous Music. Indigenous Cafe brings you music, conversation and inspiration from the Indigenous People of North America and the Indigenous People from all over the world.

On this weeks journey, we are traveling with a show titled, “FAITH; Quotes by Frank Fools Crow”

Frank Fools Crow was born in 1890 in Porcupine Creek, Pine Ridge South Dakota and left this earthly life on November 27, 1989 in Kyle South Dakota. Frank was an Oglala Lakota civic and religious leader. “Grandfather” or “Grandpa Frank” as he was often called, was a nephew of Black Elk who worked to preserve Lakota traditions, including the Sun Dance and Yuwipi ceremonies. He supported Lakota sovereignty and treaty rights and was a traditional leader at Wounded Knee. With writer Thomas E. Mails, he produced two books about his life and work, Fools Crow in 1979 and Fools Crow: Wisdom and Power in 1990.
