Ghosthorse is a member of the Cheyenne River Lakota Nation of South Dakota and
has a long history with Indigenous activism and advocacy. He is a survivor of
the “Reign of Terror” from 1972 to 1976 on the Pine Ridge, Cheyenne River, and
Rosebud Lakota Reservations, and the U.S. Bureau of Indian Affairs Boarding and
Church Missionary School systems, designed to “kill the Indian and save the
man.” An international speaker on Peace, Indigenous and Mother Earth
perspectives, he recently was awarded Staten Island’s Peacemaker Award for
2013. He is a returning guest faculty at Yale University’s School of Divinity,
Ecology, and Forestry regarding the cosmology, diversity, and perspectives on
the relational/egalitarian vs. rational/hierarchal thinking processes of
western society.
Tiokasin has been the host of First Voices Indigenous Radio

member of several children’s organizations that work to enhance living
conditions and the opportunity to think culturally, spiritually, and mentally
from their place of Indigeneity. He is a perfectly flawed human being and a
Sundancer of the Lakota Nation.
