Chapter 1: The term wakan, which is conventionally translated as “sacred,” holds many meanings for the Dakota, reflecting both its etymology and its use to describe many different beings and phenomena. George Sword, a Lakota elder, explained in the late nineteenth century that wakan derived from the word kan, meaning “anything that is old or that has existed for a long time.” He also noted that kan “may mean a strange or wonderful thing or that which cannot be comprehended.” Little Wound, another Lakota elder, added to this definition the notion of power. Food is wakan, he explained, “because it makes life,” and medicine is wakan because “it keeps life in the body.”
