Notes
Wakan Tanka is typically corrupted to mean The Great Spirit. However, Eastman notes that wakan means mystry and tanka means "great, mighy or supreme."[1]
The highly ethnocentric and frankly offensive Dr. Charles Eastman notes that the Sioux did not believe they were worthy of directly approaching (i.e. connecting) with Wankan Tanka.[2] This may explain the Native American emphasis on Shamanic Drumming to induce a Trance Connection, rather than a more direct and unmitigated connection to The Fabric
