To the Public: What Mr. Ambrose states in his book is mostly fabrication about the Sioux Nation. I'm a member of both traditional treaty council's, The Hunkpapa Treaty Council and the Sioux Nation Treaty Council. I'm an enrolled member of the Standing Rock Sioux Nation and Chairman, Board of Directors, Lakota/Dakota Advocates for Human and Civil Rights, Inc.. Mr. Ambrose as I have mentioned fabricated our culture and misused what he was told. People who have read the book have misused his writings. On page 39, Mr. Ambrose states that our babies are shared by the nursing women of the tribe, this statement is false and slandering and offensive. To be a nursing mother, the real mother must have died or could not nurse due to injury, and the nursing mother had to be a relative. And, all elders were not called grandfather by the children. Only the real grandfather and the uncles were called a grandfather by the children of that family. These statements were misinterpreted by a major director and misused in a major motion picture. The Lakota/Dakota Advocates are now taking action on these misinterpretations because the statement has slandered our people and one of our greatest warriors. Mr. Ambrose is a non-Indian and a self-proclaimed expert on the people of the Sioux Nation. To make statements about any people and their culture, it is only proper to talk to the people of that culture, no matter what culture it is, and not some self-proclaimed expert. Thank you. And, if there are any questions, I can be reached at the following phone number: 661-274-4434. With Respect, I'am Robert L. Primeaux, Wanbli Zuya
