And it goes around and contaminates the universal mind. “There’s a war going on everywhere, whether it’s in TV, radio, computers or IBM,” he says. He knows all too well that “TVs, radios, computers and IBM” are not in synch with where we should be going. While some may cast him off as some “dumb Indian,” using his words, Grandfather Wallace understands the disruptive effect modern technology is having on our spiritual lives. He calls for a strengthened connection between the hearts of all beings — particularly in relation to Grandfather Great Spirit and Grandmother Earth. Grandpa Wallace clearly was implying more than improved dialogue between people. He spoke nearly non-stop about the need to establish better communication. This Medicine Man, known in his language as Wanbli Cekala (Eagle Little), cares deeply about the Earth and all its people – the winged people, the rock people, the green people, the crawling, creeping and swimming people, the four-leggeds and the two-leggeds. Speaking to Grandfather Wallace, as he is respectfully called, it became clear that the 87 years he has been in this body have helped to focus him more clearly on the universal laws that govern all things. It was an honor and privilege to spend an hour speaking with Lakota elder Wallace Black Elk, a Sundance chief, co-author of The Sacred Ways of a Lakota and spiritual grandson of the legendary Lakota Holy Man Nicholas Black Elk.
