Mak' sito'maniyañ ukiye,
Oya'te uki'ye, oya'te uki'ye,
Wa'ñbali oya'te wañ hoshi'hi-ye lo,
Ate heye lo, ate heye lo,
Maka o'wañcha'ya uki'ye
Pte kiñ ukiye, pte kiñ ukiye,
Kañghi oya'te wañ hoshi'hi-ye lo,
A'te he'ye lo, a'te he'ye lo.
The whole world is coming,
A nation is coming, a nation is coming,
The Eagle has brought the message to the tribe.
The father says so, the father says so.
Over the whole earth they are coming.
The buffalo are coming, the buffalo are coming,
The Crow has brought the message to the tribe,
The father says so, the father says so.
Sioux Ghost Dance song as transcribed and translated by James Mooney in The Ghost-Dance Religion and the Sioux Outbreak of 1890 (1896)

Yep, that's the one. And Blizz likens us to them. Yikes!

Wow, things are really flowing now. My studies are coming into genuine supernatural synchronicity with the groups.
