Martha Bad Warrior & what Cannunpa she is holding in her lap!
I see all the Arvol Looking Horse backers, followers & believers have the info about only the men carrying on the linage, that has only been the mindset since the American Indian Movement came on the scene & removed the women fromtheir rightful place in our Matriarchial society.
On HakiktaWins Twicpic page, it clearly shows old man (Red Hair) Elk Head holding a Cannunpa while wearing a crucifix around his neck, the very reason Martha took it upon herself to take possession of the Calf Pipe(s), both the Catlinite & the Buffalo Legbone Cannunpa White Buffalo Calf Pipe Woman brought to the Lakota in approx. 1550.
The photo of Martha, taken by Wilbur Riegert in Aug. 1936 only months before her death in Oct. 1936, Martha has on her lap the Seven Council Fires Cannunpa, not the Calf Pipe! I have verifying info to support this in photographs from a private collection received the fall of 2009.
All of my info on my website http://www.lookingbackwoman.ca/ does not have all of the most verified info on it, because of the time element, & the fact more info becomes available all the time to support what I have been saying since coming forward Feb 2006.
I have my Twitter HakiktaWin account, Twicpic, WordPress, FaceBook, LinkedIn for the most current info available on the Pte Hincala Cannunpa Kin. What the opposition has is what the academics wrote, which has been inaccurate, since they chose to overlook Wilbur A Riegerts books I am a Sioux Indian & Quest for the Pipe of the Sioux, As Viewed From Wounded Knee, which gives the most accurate account of the discription, origin, linage, & ceremonial use of the Pte Hincala Cannunpa Kin there is available.
For many years the academics believed the Seven Council Fires Council Cannunpa was the Calf Pipe, & wrongly so. The Seven Council Fires Council Cannunpa represents our Tetuwan Governmental Cannunpa (Pipe), & the Pte Hincala Cannunpa Kin (Calf Pipe) is our Spirituality core values & Lifeways Cannunpa (Pipe). Two very differenct Cannunpas, with two separate purposes.
The Seven Council Fires Council Cannunpas shape represents our two most Sacred areas, the Black Hills, Paha Sapa, & Turtle Mountain in Manitoba…the two humps on the Seven Council Fires Cannunpa represents these two geological areas of Spiritual importance to the Tetuwan Nations of the Dakota-Lakota-Nakota peoples.

Nothing is more real than the woman’s superiority.It is they who really maintain the tribe, the nobility of blood, the geological tree, the order of generations and conservation of families.
In them resides all the real authority: the lands, the fields and all their harvest belong to them; they are the soul of the councils, the arbiters of peace and war, they hold all the taxes and public treasure; it is to them that the slaves are entrusted;
they arrange the marriages; the children are under their authority; and the order of succession is founded on THEIR blood….
The Council of Elders which transacts all the business does not work for itself.
It seems that they serve only to represent and aid the women in the matters in which decorum does not permit the latter to appear or act….
The women choose their chiefs among their maternal brothers or their own children.

Father Joseph-Francois Lafitau
Customs of the American Indians
compared with the Customs of Primitive Times (1724)So, the information from the opposition is not correct… that only the men would be responsible for carrying & caretaking the Pte Hincala Cannunpa Kin.Before the American Indian Movement came into our lives in the late 1960s-early 1970s, & the wasciu brought the concept of a patriarchial society, the women were the sole arbitrators of our people, ceremonies, Chiefs, spirituality & lifeways.
