In the traditional Lakota Sioux way a person regularly goes on a vision quest to seek better vision concerning his life and how he may best serve his people. It is a time of fasting (usually four days and nights on a lonely hill) coming to know themselves and gaining humility through fervent prayers to the Creator. Usually the Vision quest is proceeded by a Give Away of all his possessions to the poor of his tribe. He does all of this that through him, his people may live. |
