Timberlane County Park

“In traditional Yankton Sioux culture, everyone had a niche, a role . . .”

… One of the roles of the women who were part of the Brave Hearts was to retrieve the dead and wounded from the battlefield and help the families. In a way, we are doing the same thing today with modern-day Brave Hearts — bringing back our people from emotional death.”

~Faith Spotted Eagle, in Project 562 by Matika Wilbur
