1992. The following articles are featured: Prophecies of the Black Hills
(by David Seals); Elders Jailed (by Lower Brule, SD);LAkota Film Commission;

second page it is printed: "Dakota, Lakota,Nakota Nations Unification
Accord. It reads: "Preamble: We the duly elected leaders of the soreign
indepedented Indian Nations, being aware of our close kinship and
