I was driving through the Black Hills after my second trip to the Pine Ridge Reservation when the idea hit me. Awareness, in and of itself, is a powerful act. More government programs won’t change Pine Ridge. What is needed is a sincere, thoughtful apology; recognition of what happened. So, I grabbed my journal…took out my pen…and began to write. I wrote an apology.

Then I had another idea. What if the apology went viral? What if thousands upon thousands of people signed it and passed it on?

Please read the apology (from page 190 of my book NOT FOR SALE: Finding Center in the Land of Crazy Horse ) and then share this link with 10 or more people YOU know (who would also care) and ask them to consider doing the same.

I sent this to 100 people to launch this apology world-wide. In only 4 steps from there it would reach 1,000,000 people if everyone shared it 10 times. In Sioux culture the number 4 is considered sacred.
