The Lakota believe that when we are born we are assigned a wanagi. A wanagi is like a spirit from a star. When we complete our life cycles on earth we travel back to the star of our inception. This epic voyage is known as making the journey. We return home — to the Star Nation.

This enchanting video, taken by Mike Forsberg, features the unique American dipper, the only aquatic songbird in North America. Not only does this bird sing beautiful songs, but it also forages in rapids and waterfalls to find food as you can see in the video. #plattebasin
