November 12, 1991 <br />LETTER OF SUPPORT <br />TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN <br />This is regarding the,land owned by Ms. Pat Dickey in Minneapolis, Minnesota. <br />Ever since people can remember throughout the many many years; this particular <br />portion of land has been used as a central place for Indigenous People <br />to pray or have religious ceremonies. <br />It is used as a "gathering place" for spiritual purposes and has been blessed <br />numerous times by Medicine Men from different Indian Tribes, <br />1, Arvol Looking Horse, Keeper of the Sacred Calf Pipe, from Teton Sioux <br />Nation fully support that this land not be violated or destructed in any <br />way, shape or form. My reasons are : <br />1. that because of the many sacred ceremonies that have been held <br />throughout the years; there might be religious or ceremonial artifacts <br />present and these should not be tampered with. <br />2. that this land should be kept the way it is for future generations. <br />3. that the "freedom of religion" of the Indigenous People would be <br />violated if this sacred land is put in destruction. <br />I pray that you will consider .this,matter and make your decision favorable <br />to my request to preserve this land. <br />Mita-ku-o-ya-sin! <br />("All my Relations") <br />Sincerely, <br />A vol Looking Hors <br />per,, <br />er, of the 5acre .Calf Pipe <br />Green Grass, South Dakota 57625 <br />cc. file(1) <br />
