Lakota Beliefs

1. Nagi Gluhapi - Keeping of the Soul

White Buffalo Calf Woman once came to Earth and to the Lakota people, she gave a Sacred Pipe and a small round stone.

The stone had Seven Circles on it, representing Seven Rites.


When the Lakota smoke from the sacred pipe, their voice is sent to the Great Spirit.
In every Rite they smoke of this pipe.
