Diet for Native Ameri-
cans requires balance.
Diabetes did not exist in
Native communities un-
til recent times, he said,
but is now an epidemic on
some reservations.
Commodity foods and
sugary drinks are two rea-
sons why this happening.
Hunting and eating the
Native foods are parts of
the solution.
“Do you know who is the
Seventh Generation?” Warne
asked the students.
“You are the Seventh Gen-
eration,” he said. He ex-
plained:
The Lakota holy man
Black Elk said after the
Wounded Knee Massacre
that the broken circle would
take seven generations to re-
pair. “And you are the Sev-
enth Generation,” Warne told
the young people.
Warne is a former pro ath-
lete, an actor, traditional
Lakota, motivational speaker
and vocational rehabilitation
specialist. “I wear many hats,”
he says.
He also helps conduct
youth football camps. By
chance he was in War m
Springs when the War m
Springs Eagles played their
first home game at the new
academy football field.
Warne was impressed with
the players, and the com-
munity support. “It was
great seeing the parking and
the stands full,” he said.
If things work out, he
may come back next year
and help conduct a football
camp in Warm Springs, he
said.
Native Americans have
always been the best ath-
letes, he said, with Jim
Thorpe being the greatest
American athlete of all.
