Ravenshadow
PART ONEBlue Is LostBlue Introduces Himself
Mitakuye oyasin--We are all related, we are all one. Mitakuye oyasin--those are the words we use to end all our prayers, we Lakota, the ones you call Sioux. I'm telling you this story to teach it to myself.You can call me Blue.My full name is Joseph Blue Crow. It is one of my names. I am the man of many names. I am the man of more than one voice, more than one language, more than one culture. I am the man you do not know, do not want to know, cannot permit yourself to know. To see me is to feel the cold beneath the shadow of the Raven's wing.Look at me. Here I stand before you, a buffalo bull of a Lakota Indian, six and a half feet tall and up toward three hundred pounds. My skin is dark, my hair blue-black, and I wear it in one long braid. I look like I belong in another world, any other world, not yours.Will you listen to my story? You must listen very carefully.I set out on a journey to save my soul.Maybe I will save it.And maybe, as my witness, you can save yours.Copyright © 1999 by Win Blevins
