I just returned from a trip into the Pine Ridge Reservation to the Lakota tribe at Potato Creek. We have a Muslim sister living there, she is the only Muslim in the Lakota community. We brought her some groceries etc.
This is the view going to Potato Creek, 150 miles of scenery like this:
While we where there we got invited to the tribal wacipi and got to speak to some of the Lakota about Islam.

Really nice pictures on this thread. By the way, Woodrow:
That's really cool. I'm interested as to how they responded.

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.

mashallah it must be nice living somewhere like that, with no people it must be quite
how do you pronounce Sioux? :X
Sioux is pronounced Sue. It was the name given to them by the early French Explorers in the region. They are actually part of the Dakota Nation, which consists of Sioux, Cheyenne, Blackfoot, Chippewa and I believe Cree and Huron. The Sioux are further broken down into Oglala, Cheyenne river and several others. Lakota is the native language spoken. The Lakota speaking Sioux are usually called Lakota no matter what tribe they are from. the Potato Creek Lakota are Oglala Sioux.
