Heca....tribal elder..tribal shaman, Tribal Medicine Chief, and keeper of traditions, by story or by rod, are the ways of the people protected. Without traditions, without care to honor the deep mystery of life and death is there not wisdom.
Son to Hota, Tribal Civil Chief, and husband and mate to Wambli Wiyan Washaka, Yata Pi and shaman, and adopted father to Washaka, Henhapi Wi, Lily and father to Wicasa Star and Wiyan Star, brother to Tatanka Cikali, White Elk, Standing Bull, Olepi (silver mist) and cousin to Iktomi Isne, son of Wambli Gleska and Wambli Wicasa. He is a man of family, deep, deep cultural roots, deep, deep memory and he leads the people as the Wicasa who moves his hand over it, his flight over it watching for wasted resources, looking for broken traditions and teaching the path....from life to death...and back through again. Heca...Mahapiaya Wolakota Cante Wakan.
