It is often spoken as the closing to a prayer or as a parting comment. It reminds us that the Creator made and loves us all- all people, from all the Four Directions, of all colors and races. While the saying originates with the Lakota, many other tribes have adopted it as an expression of brotherhood. In this way we are reminded that every person is a scared being, every person is worthy of respect, and each of us has the light of the Creator within us.
All people are one.
