I'd be very intrested to know the Lakota view on this.
They are very protective (and rightfully so) of thier faith.

If I remember to find out, I will be sure to post it here.

It's good they're so protective. It's just too easy to be assimilated, and then all the wisdom of your ancestors is just lost.

i thought it was like a beard white man (white dear also) will show and we all have a peace party?

smoke lodges? Beard white man? Peace party?

First off no one says "Peace party" and no group has a white man (with or without a beard) saving them. You may be mistaking the story of the White Buffalo, which is often misused as a "messiah" story. (White Buffalo Woman said she would return to the people, but she is a Native American and a Woman.)

Do you mean sweat lodge? I've never heard of a "smoke lodge". Sweat lodges are used for purification by many nations.
Smoke (ie smudge, tobacco) is used to carry prayers to creator and for purification.
