They are very warm people and very curious to hear about Islam. Most of the Sioux have never even heard of Islam or of Muhammad(PBUH). There are only 8 reverts I know of on the entire reservation and only one is Lakota. Many of the Sioux follow the ancient native religion. There have been Christian Missionaries and Evangelicals making attempts to convert in the area, but the Sioux are not very receptive to Christianity and very suspicious of Non-Native people. An advantage we have is Aabidah is Native American from the Cheyenne tribe.

Shortly after we left the Wacipi and were on the road out of the reservation a group of young men followed us and pulled us off the road. They were very interested in what a Muslim was and why we were dressed like we where. It was a very long pleasant discussion and I will be meeting with them again in a week or so with some English translations of the Qur'an.
