Mahto Peta (FireBear) has been working closely with the Tiospaye and individuals finding their identity in themselves within the Lakota and Native American community since 1987 when he began his journey on the Cunka Luta Waste. Through his own journey of understanding his Lakota Traditions he has been able to help others’ Wiconi who have came into contact with him. In finding his past through storytelling and traditions, his world opened to the journey of cermony and the ceremony of Wiconi, the connection of Wakan Tanka and the Hocoka. Mahto Peta is a diverse and inclusive helper and shares openly about the understanding of his ways of Wiconi and has often assisted with others discovering their connections through story telling and invitations on the drum, songs, and sweatlodge. Mahto Peta is a veteran Sundancer on the Rosebud Indian Reservation, which has opened the Tiyopa to develop a deeper relationship with himself and the land, which reciprocates allowing him to develop relationships with Wiconi and the oyate, who have also been touched deeply by the ways. This is the experience that you will have through the stories and songs from the Mahto Peta Tiospaye, which is made up of individuals who have supported Mahto Peta and walked with him in this journey of recovery. The songs range in purpose and meaning, though all reflect the strong kinship to our environment, the land, our Tiospaye, and our past with those connected to this sacred way throughout the universe. Whoever is supposed to be here, is here. So listen carefully to the songs and messages, there is purpose and meaning and if we listen with a cante waste, they will tell us how to walk through the days and through the nights. - Pilamya, Wopila, Mitakuye Oyasin
