When the Mountain Wins: Bear Butte, Prayer Ties & Accepting Almost

In this video, I take you with me on a deeply personal and spiritual journey—from gathering the materials to create traditional Lakota prayer ties, to the sacred climb up Bear Butte in South Dakota. We begin by visiting a Native American store to purchase red fabric and tobacco, the foundational elements for prayer ties in Lakota tradition. I walk you through the steps of making the ties, explaining their meaning and spiritual significance along the way. Next, we head to Bear Butte—a powerful and sacred site for many Indigenous peoples. This climb challenged me both physically and emotionally. I speak candidly about the moment I realized I couldn't make it to the top, and how my friend Steve helped carry the prayer ties to the summit on my behalf.
