MAKA WAKAN (Sioux)

MAKA WAKAN (Sioux) Together with the medicine man Jim Miller Ironcloud from the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation I collected SOIL in North und South Dakota, Minnesota, Montana und Wyoming. I dug the SOIL from significant sites which have been holy to the Lakota, Dakota, Nakota, Cheyenne and other Plains Indian Tribes since primeval times, from historical places intertwined with the SIOUX’s fate and from places illustrating the lifestyle of the SIOUX today. The precise selection of these sites was determined through one of the Seven Holy Rituals of the Lakota in the Sweat of Jim Miller. The EARTH ART WORKS tell of the exceptional spirituality and culture of these people.
