	Wakan is a basic principle, antagonistic to notions of the "Great Spirit" which "was either a missionary imposition or an oversimplification of Lakota belief offered by elders attempting to explain their spirituality to non-Indians.

==Notes==

Wakan is will, the force of will, action in the world. "''Wakan'' is not a mystery, something ethereal to be worshipped in the abstract. When Black Elk sings the western grandfather's song for Neihard--"The thunder nation is appearing, may you behold" -- his words reflect the emergence of warrior energy in the people.....Black Elk...learns that instead of passively receiving protection from the spirits, the must seize the power to live."<ref>Rice, Julian. Before the Great Spirit: The Many Faces of Sioux Spirituality. University of New Mexico, 1998. p. 23 https://amzn.to/2C9fM5E.</ref> It is the warrior energy, the power available to all people to take responsibility and act/change the world. The will and energy to change the world. The warrior's job, in addition to defense, is to invoke wakan energy in the people.

Wakan is a basic principle, antagonistic to notions of the "Great Spirit" which "was either a missionary imposition or an oversimplification of Lakota belief offered by elders attempting to explain their spirituality to non-Indians. When a person prays, he or she must already have a firm resolve and a basic plan. The spirits can only supply the tools, not the will or the purpose, and man must initiate the relationship." <ref>Rice, Julian. Before the Great Spirit: The Many Faces of Sioux Spirituality.
