It is the general belief of the Indians that after a man dies his spirit is somehwere on the earth or in the sky, we do not know exactly where, but we are sure that his spirit still lives..............So it is with Wakantanka.  We believe that he is everywhere, yet he is to us as the spirits of our friends, who voices we can not hear.
