Jhon Goes In Center - Oglala Lakota

Johnson Holy Rock - One of the most respected elders in Indian Country, Johnson is "living history." A Lakota historian and constitutional scholar, Johnson served as President of the Oglala Lakota Nation during John F. Kennedy's administration and among his many achievements was securing housing programs for the Oglalas and other nations. Johnson's father, Jonas, was 11 years old when George A. Custer and the 7th Cavalry attacked the Lakota-Cheyenne encampment at the Little Bighorn, and so Johnson heard and preserved those first-hand accounts of the Little Bighorn, and of his father's and grandfather's recollections of Crazy Horse. Johnson's grandfathers, Holy Bald Eagle and Holy Bull, traveled with and were closely associated with Crazy Horse. Johnson has been featured in numerous TV documentaries, and contributed extensive interviews to We, The People and Promise: Bozeman's Trail to Destiny.

Ernie LaPointe - Ernie is the great-grandson of the peerless Lakota statesman, holy man and Sun Dancer, Sitting Bull. One of four great-grandchildren of Sitting Bull, Ernie is THE ONLY great-grandson of Sitting Bull. Ernihas produced a two part DVD about Sitting Bull and the true family lineage and history of the great man, and his new book  arrived in stores this summer; a chronicle of his family's oral history of Sitting Bull, which will include heretofore unpublished testimony from Sitting Bull's daughter, Standing Holy, Ernie's grandmother.
Like his great-grandfather, Ernie is a Sun Dancer.

Arvol Looking Horse - Arvol is the 19th Generation Keeper of the Sacred Canupa, the Calf Pipe brought to the Lakota, Dakota and Nakota people by Ptehincala San Win, the White Buffalo Calf Woman. Arvol inspired the movement that became "World Peace and Prayer Day," and he has traveled around the world to communicate the power that is peace and to unite people through prayer and understanding. Arvol set down his thoughts in the book, White Buffalo Teachings.

Douglas Spotted Eagle - A Cheyenne headsman and Bowstrings Military Society chief, Douglas had the honor to be Keeper of the Sacred Bundle, Esevone, known to non-Cheyennes as the Sacred Buffalo Hat. Douglas has completed his commitment in the Sun Dance and could be petitioned as a Sun Dance Priest. A fluent Cheyenne speaker and noted traditional dancer, Douglas has been featured in various books and articles, and is presently engaged as a language and cultural consultant for a forthcoming movie with an emphasis on Cheyenne culture. Douglas is a descendant of Big Man, a brother to Chief Black Kettle, and his grandfather, Chief Magpie, was a veteran of the Washita, Rosebud and Little Bighorn battles.

Baldwin Parker - Baldwin is the surviving grandson of the legendary Comanche chief, Quanah Parker. Baldwin is the keeper of his grandfather's songs, including the "Adobe Walls" song, which Baldwin recorded on video for the Panhandle Plains Museum in Texas.

Betty (Sankadota) Washburn - The great-granddaughter of the great Kiowa chief Satanta, Betty is the editor of the Chief Satanta (White Bear) Descendants Newsletter. Betty designed the memorial to Satanta at Fort Sill, and she works closely with Tirwana Spivey at Fort Sill to preserve the history and legacy of Satanta, and to ensure accuracy in the presentation of details of Satanta's life and Kiowa culture.

a profound experience, learning the meaning of the wolf  to Plains Indians.

I AM LAKOTA
Enter the world of the Lakota; experience culture, history, art and music with Native American guides,  and really ethical tourism

SACRED MEDICINE WHEEL
Imagine yourself  high on Medicine Mountain, truly understanding the history and explanations of the living, breathing Cheyenne Spirit Wheel
Everything you have ever heard, read or imagined about the history and lifeways of the Plains Indian Nations beckons as you enter the world of the Lakota. Experience culture, history, native philosophies, indigenous art and music and watch the thunderous stampede of Tatanka at the Buffalo Round-Up. This tour also includes a native cooking class.
The sacred reality of the stone Spirit Wheel high above the Bighorn Basin on Medicine Mountain began with the wisdom of one man who carried a spirit wheel lance in 500 BC and led his people from the darkness to the light. A spirit, it seems, was called into the wheel of stone on Medicine Mountain and there it still lives and breathes, so still they come, not knowing why, from the four corners of the earth to touch something of that time long ago that still lives within them.
Follow the Niitsitapi, the Blackfeet people, from Montana into Canada across the Medicine Line - a name historically steeped in equal measures of mystique and irony …for what man had the right to divide the land and how could a seemingly invisible line do that? Travel this fabulous land where natural wonder is all to the Blackfeet cultures.
Join our special family tour on the well-beloved Black Hills to Yellowstone route. From the grandeur of America’s Serengeti, Yellowstone, to the pine-studded serenity of Paha Sapa, the sacred Black Hills, listen for wolves, look for bears, hear indigenous stories and gaze to the constellations wherein lies the map of the Plains Indian summer ceremonial journey. Be immersed in beauty, native culture and the indigenous phenomenon
Come with us to the land of the Yellow Rock Water and discover that Yellowstone Is Indian Country amid the stunning wilderness habitat of wolves, grizzly bears, moose, elk and many other four-leggeds. Learn the meaning of the wolf, and the bear to Plains Indians.
Indulge your soul. For this is a special winter wonderland; a profound experience where for four days you will be surrounded by the beauty and serenity of the Serengeti of North America. In Yellowstone’s Lamar Valley where the snow-covered landscape is home to wolves, at dawn and dusk we seek the twilight hunter and listen for the mysterious music of his song. We discuss the behavioral traits of the wolf and his physical and spiritual significance to the Plains Indians
Follow messages left on rock by the Old Ones, explore the unexplored, and join our trail deep into Southwestern Native America to appreciate diverse cultures of the Pueblos, the Anasazi, and the Hopi. For those who want to stay a little longer, take opportunity to travel through the mystical Monument Valley and Canyon De Chelly – jewels in the crown of Navajoland
There is no greater piece of art than Mother Earth herself. Indigenous peoples have integrated arts into their everyday life through the millennia - think of quill and beadwork for personal adornment, decorated parfleches for storage, historical record keeping in ‘Winter Counts’ etched in hide, and petroglyph/ pictographic images enlivening rock walls. In 2012 the materials and techniques may have changed, but not the sentiments. We all originate from tribal peoples. So take this path toward the artistic expression of what lies within you and the beauty of Mother Earth
Enter the world of the Cheyenne, the Morning Star People. Your travels through culture, history and places sacred to the Cheyenne nation culminate in a powwow experience at the time of a true ‘Blue Moon’ a sacred phenomenon where two full moons appear within the earth’s rhythmic cycle of 28 days and some say, an esoteric blue haze
All cultures on this planet acknowledge rock and on this special journey with Jhon Goes In Center as our Lakota guide, we attempt to decipher human and ecological codes in the beauty of the Bighorn Mountains, the serenity of Wind River Canyon, and the immense splendor of the Tetons. We savor the sights and sounds of Powwow on the Arapaho Reservations and traversing plains, mountains, desert and canyons we search out the ultimate in lasting memories.
COUNTLESS INDIVIDUALS OFFER THEIR KNOWLEDGE, SKILLS, ENERGIES AND TIME TO THE SUCCESS OF THE GO NATIVE AMERICA JOURNEYS, AND WE ARE GRATEFUL TO ALL.
