Heartfelt Beliefs to Heal

Forgive everybody everything

Reconciliation Park in Mankato, Minnesota, commemorates the 1862 hanging of 38 Lakota men by President Lincoln’s order. The Lakota had stolen food that the U.S. government had promised them by treaty. The people were starving! This is the largest mass execution in U.S. history to date.

“Forgive everyone everything.” This is inscribed on the benches used in Reconciliation Park from which one can view the white buffalo monument. According to Lakota legend, the white buffalo’s return heralds a time of peace and prosperity for all people.

It is important for individuals to recognize how humans can wrong each other, yet how our wounding is transformed by forgiveness. Forgiveness is a sure path to empowerment and the basis for all healing.
