With the Oglala Indians causality is a universal principle, a law of necessity, to be respected by even the highest divine being. Because all power to act, move, or change has been granted by him, all causes originate in this highest divine being, a manifested aspect of the Great Spirit or Great Unknowable on all cosmic levels. Thus all causes find their source in consciousness, and "blind" causality does not exist. Powers to act and change have been granted to divine, human, and lower beings along with a certain portion of free will and responsibility, giving rise to imperfect or "evil" causes which lead to confusion and corruption. Causality is logically linked with the acting, moving principle and with power and energy. Action is the literal meaning of both karma and Skan.

The remains of 42 Oglala Indians, stored for years in numbered, steel drawers at the Smithsonian Institution, have now been laid to rest in South Dakota. The burial marks the end of a long journey that began more than 100 years ago. Some of the bones were pilfered from graves and others were stolen from burial scaffolds. In December, tribal members buried the remains at the Episcopal cemetery on the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation after a caravan of tribal members collected them in Washington, D.C.

Crazy Horse (1849?-1877), chief of the Oglala Sioux, is best known for his part in the Native-American resistance to white expansion in the western United States. With the help of Sitting Bull, a chief of the Hunkpapa Sioux, the Sioux kept their land free of occupation by white settlers. In 1876 Crazy Horse and Sitting Bull's camp was attacked by Lieutenant Colonel Custer. In the ensuing Battle of the Little Bighorn, Crazy Horse and his warriors killed Custer and most of his cavalry. The United States Army then began a relentless pursuit of Crazy Horse. He finally surrendered in Nebraska on May 6, 1877.
