@ajsdecepida.bsky.social“Núŋǧe waníčapi” — “They have no ears.” In Sitting Bull’s Sun Dance vision before Little Bighorn, deafness meant more than hearing: it meant refusing warning, counsel and consequence.
A chilling epitaph for arrogance in any age. 🪶👂⚡ #SittingBull #LittleBighorn
![Núŋǧe waníčapi.
“They have no ears.”
— the voice in Sitting Bull’s Sun Dance vision, as remembered by his nephew One Bull and recorded in Lakota by Cecelia One Bull Brown; translated and analyzed by Raymond J. DeMallie. The vision is generally dated to mid-June 1876, shortly before the Battle of the Little Bighorn on 25-26 June 1876.
