I've studied witchcraft and the occult for a long time. I have lived in the modern world a long time for me. I feel I am crazy until I hear these words. They are the only true reflection I've heard. The only true wisdom. No books, no teachings, no ritual and no spell comes close to the power and love of spirit. I feel I am alone until I hear these words. These words are medicine to the soul. Guidance in the dark. Thank you for your blessings. Thank you for putting this in a place those that are lost can see. Infinite blessings and eternal peace to you. A deep gratitude from the deepest of my heart. May the love of the light be with you always. Blessed be to you ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Thank you for your words❤❤❤. A few days ago my chronic pain was soooo bad that I was crying and moaning with no relief. But even though I was in pain I knew that it was a necessary death of ego and spiritual healing. When it was over, I looked out the front door and there was two geese just sitting there looking at me. Somehow I instantly knew that God knew all my suffering and was with me. I danced.
I am very pleased to see that you are still teaching. I drove to Pine Ridge in 2005 hoping to see you. You were not available; you were in Rapid City defending sacred ceremonies. Perhaps, one day I can tell you the story about The Day the Swallows Came to me.
Aho!! Thank you David! Aho!! You & Richard changed my life in powerful blessed ways & after 35 years on the Red Road with you & your teaching, it is such a gifted blessing to hear & see you teach to the world with this medium!! Aho!! Thank you for ALL THAT YOU DO!AHO!! I send you prayer songs now, that you continue to teach us in this way for a long time!! Aho!! MITAKUYE OYASIN 🔆
I think it is good to be brief when speaking, and they listen. Laconic brief. So, it is like this. There's cats in someone's, someone's, courtyard and some of the cats have kittens, and neighbors drop by and plot to create something like an enclosure, so whenever they feel like petting a cat or a kitten they will be able to pet exactly the cat or kitten they feel like petting. That is absolutely everything. That is the entire situation!!
I hope your culture can be preserved. I thank you for your connection with nature. It is so important what you tell to us. I am so thankful. Have so many blessings from the deepest of my heart.
Wado brother for we need the healing and I listen to guide me . I am coming back to everything. I'm ready for things to come back and learn it again . you are helping. Many blessings and praying for it. I'm happy for the kids . and I see them . I'm so happy to see this. Ill be listening and praying 🙏🏽
Awww Bless your heart dear indigenous man! Native Americans just most beautiful people. Dave so sweet and wise I agree with what he's saying 💞💕 very special people. I would like to go and live spend time with a native tribe or elder. Can learn so much from native elders 💖
Thanks for your precious teachings. Listening to your words is a healing ceremony itself. I'm not Lakota, I'm Italian but i feel the very truth in your words. The Creator bless you. And the Creator bless xou too, Kathy, for sharing this video.
LoVe You,David For Sharing These Truth's! Especially the Part where Being Humble gets You Killed and Abused etc; I have been on the Good Side of the Spectrum in this Life...and WILL CONTIOUSLY BE IN THIS WAY TIL I DIE
aƞpetu waštė David--On my next trip to visit my friends in Wounded Knee I hope to finally meet you---maybe we can meet and say a prayer together over Tatanka Ohitika, my good friend , at the memorial--maybe this coming summer. I always call Jerylin to let her know when I will be out that way ---until then--Toksa and be well !
Aho!! Anpetu waste. Your words bring me back. I sweated with Leo many times and he talked with a full heart about the ways and staying on the red road. Inipi will always heal. I will never forget, the special prayer he gave me and the words of his Grand father, and his brother that he loves so much. Aho! Waste Chicago, maybe this means something to you to me Leo always said looking at the sky, the "ocean is beautiful today." My chante beats proud to have been placed on the Red Road by him. Wopela

You say come back but I know you don't mean that you listen to lies and gossip when you know that and I I don't think you realize how much that itself hurts you and yours and others. I take leave with a heavy heart to know that decades have been wasted. I ask for your forgiveness for coming back when I should have turned back we could have made different decisions and I accept full responsibility for leaving after today and still carry Love as we journey on!
First happen to hear Dave Hear him sing . I did a search to see if where more Did learn is one of the last fluent Lakota language speakers, both the old language and new. So.much to teach did not know he is Lakota Medicine Man To hear his natural voice. Was a pull . Now hearing what his has to share On his father’s side, he descends from Chief Standing Buffalo and from his mother’s lineage Chief Red Shirt.
HELLO BROTHER, a few year ago i have your address , i was going to write you my vision, now i lost it, i try many times to get again, but no luck, my great grand father born in manitoba canada, i think birdtail, lw. brule his father comes to canada after the custer fight, now i am the only one left of my family, except my children and grand children, i lost my language in school, but i used to remember some, but now i am old i forget, and starting to forget the stories of my grandfather and mother, but my vision of 50 yrs ago i remember well i need to tell it..i wish i can speak to you, good blessings to you brother, i am j. swallow jr
...I had a friend, a medicine man who had passed away. He gave me a name which translates to "woman who asks many questions", it's been 15 years ago and I can't recall the name. Do you know what that name would be in Lakota language?
Leski david, my name is hokasila wakinyan, I must get in touch with you, very powerful dreams and vision, please leski as my uncle reply very important Aho mitakuye oyasin
Everything he saying is true but its sad to see that Christianity beliefs creeping into his teachings. Battle of good and evil is a pure christian concept. Things just are, its you as a person that makes things good or evil. All these celebrity "medicine men" are influenced greatly by christianity. Black Elk, etc etc. Even Lame Deer to an extent but lame deer was almost pure traditional. Dave talks in a good way, his heart is for the people, but we as a lakota people need to get away from all this christianity thinking, get away from all teh wasicun influences. Get away from the assimilation. We rely too much on the wasicun government and then cry when we did nothing for ourselves but mope and let them take it all away. We are broken and will never heal until we get away from this wasicun assimilation.
If you read this Dave Swallow. When you pray and you want blessing of healing there is the sealing of that prayer by the Name of Jesus. In the Name of Jesus is powerful to end in prayer. Try it and see the blessings. You are the giant to be awaken and to heal nations in this Nation. True story.
Totally not what this is about. Don't you get it? It's not about religion, it's about a WAY OF LIFE. And it's not about sealing a prayer, it's about offering a prayer and finding answers. Again, a way of life and much harder than just seal a prayer by the name of Jesus. How about you let go of your preconceived ideas and just listen?! Stop doing what colonialism has been doing for centuries. Can't you see where christianity got us!? Time to let go of religion and return to a way of life that honors everything!
We have the WHITE BUFFALO CALF WOMAN, also a savior of this world, to seal our prayers, she who brought tbe sacred canupa to the Dakota Dakota and Lakota people.
@@yourangelinfleshorsackclot1523 not sure why anyone needs a jewish war chief, but hey, feel free to get stuck in war and religion. Spirituality is obviously not your thing
Thank you Dave Swallow. I just lost my father Saturday. This was the perfect video to stumble across. We are Lakota/Metis
Amazing speaker,alot of knowledge he has,cant learn enough,one day it will be gone,hold onto as much as you can.
Love this guy!!! Very intelligent and speaks the truth

I believe!
It would be for me a great honour to know Him personally!
