In 1972 after Sundance ceremony in Crowdog's Paradise,
the Great Spirit called for the message of traditional people had to be
spread to the entire world of the Earth, so people in the
Crowdog's Paradise and many supporters did the Trail of Broken Treaty.
Many Native Americans across the Nation went to Washington, D.C.
during the Presidential Election week to advertise the plight of indigenous
people and all relations including animals, plants, and all natural elements.

The representatives of Native Americans were supposed to meet with then
President Richard Nixon for doing peaceful negotiation to improve the way of life for Native People,
but that did not happen. Not only that, accommodation of elderies were so disastrous that
people went to the Bureau of Indian Affair, which was supposed to help Native Americans,
asking for finding decent accommodation for elderies, children and women in DC area.
Meantime people started to cook some food and brewed some coffee to ease some long trip
tiredness in nice spacy lounge of BIA building.
Then within a sudden moment, the building was surrounded by SWAT and FBI claiming
Native People to get out of the building, and to disarm their weapons.

As a matter of fact, Native People did not have weapons, they just wanted some rest in BIA building.
SWAT started to break into the building. This action of the US government gave
young Native American warriors' DNA woken up,so young people started to defend for their families,
and they made the building like instant fortress.
Negotiation between the US government and Native Americans did not meet
satisfactory goals for each other; however, all prayer and presence of elders and
medicinal performance of Leonard Crowdog and his relations,
both the US government people and Native Americans could avoid bloody consequence in DC.

In 1973 the living condition of many Indian Reservations had gotten worse and worse.
The soverighnity of Indian reservations was completely raped by the flow of what was
going on in the mainsteam of society.
Then again the Great Spirit of the Great Mystery came into a Native American woman
saying "Let's go to Wounded Knee, and stand up for what our ancestors prayed for!"
Then it felt like a moment of thunder bird lightings, Native Americans liberated Wounded Knee,
and they announced to the whole world the declaration of independence for Wounded Knee.
The independent nation Wounded Knee lasted 71 days as Native American Nation run by
Native Americans who lived as the spirit of ancestoral way of life of Turtle Island. During those moments,
there were happy moments and sad moments. As Leonard Crowdog states
" the time of Wounded Knee was the most lively, the most intense,
the most favorite time of my indian way of life."

In1978 the trans-continental peace walk "the Longest Walk" ,which took place
between San Francisco and DC and New York City , was the vision of Leonard Crowdog and
all his relations brought by the spirit of the Great Mystery. All four colors people
walked hot and cold days, sunny, rainy, snowy, stormy days. Steps by steps
walking on the Mother Earth, singing and drumming Native songs of Turtle Islands,
praying and praying for all relations, past, present and future, the acts of
those prayer helped the US government to legalized the
permanent permission right for the Native American Spiritual
Ceremonies so long as peaceful.
From then on, Native American Cultural Revivals
started to happen to the four directions.

On the Indigenous People Day October 12th 2000,
Chief Leonard Crowdog and his relations visited the White House
for advising what we all people had to do for future generations,
and negotiating the freedom for Leonard Peltier
who was wrongfully incarcerated in the
federal prison in Leavenworth, KS.
