The Seven Commandments of the-Sacred Buffalo Calf Woman
These teachings were given to Martin through the ancient White Buffalo Calf Woman Pipe as he stepped into his patrilineal and matrilineal heritage as a spiritual leader and holy man in the 1970s. For 25 years, he traveled sharing them with his own people as they began to restore their cultural identity and ceremonies. However, he was also instructed by the Spirit World to share his teachings with everyoneβall the colours of mankind with whom he met during his travels. He worked to strengthen race reconciliation and to bring healing between Indian and non-Indian people, which continues to this day between the Lakota people and all the spiritual peoples of the world.
The Seven Commandments of the-Sacred Buffalo Calf Woman is everything one ever wanted to know about the Teton Lakota's North American Indigenous people as they were before contact from European colonisation. We are also offered a glimpse of the spiritual power and highly evolved civilizations they had, that emerged here in Americaβvia oral histories from Lakota Intercessorsβjust like those from antiquityβsuch as Moses, the Prophets of the Middle-East, Fu Xi of the I Ching in China, the Toltec Goddess Cihuatylβalso known as the Virgin of Guadalupe in Mexicoβand especially the Tibetans, among many others; from the Four Directions of the World.
The Seven Commandments of the-Sacred Buffalo Calf Woman therefore necessitates a multi-generational biography of Holy Man Martin Highbearβwhose direct lineage goes back in written word to 1834βand encompasses ancestral teachings handed down from generation to generation, along with supernatural abilities to heal people and to see into the future, in order to navigate what is to come.
It was prophesied by White Buffalo Calf Woman that when the post-contact and colonised Indigenous people finally returned to their sacred ceremonies, She would return; much like what is prophesied in the Christian tradition. However, the Lakota were to practice their visions as a way of lifeβyet honour all the visions of the other culturesβin order for all the people of the four directions of the world to come together in the Medicine Wheel as the four colours of humanity, empowering them to help save the world together.
