Respect the Elders
The rocks were here before people were here. Lakota traditions say that life began with the rise of a great stone from the waters of creation. The Lakota word "tunkaschila" meaning “grandfather” is sometimes used for the word "stone" because stones are referred to as our elders.

i loved 'the point' and the music was so good i bought the Album way back when.... i think i need to find a copy of this movie to watch and share ~
I used to imitate Rock Man for my little brother - he loved it! best soundtrack ever ....
the lakota word for stone is 'inyan'
and the root of tankashila is also used to speak of something great and holy, but still unknowable - wakan tanka - what you could also call god.
...what a lovely post. We have collected many interesting stones over the years and have placed them throughout our home...love to think of them as elders...
