Hello Jared,
Good to hear from you! Mi takuye oyasin is Lakota and means "the circle of my relatives", which means - "we are all related." In Lakota tradition this means "everything" (man, wildlife, the rivers, lakes, trees) is inter-twined and related. I felt it went well with my own personal feelings about life and friends and the outdoors and it fits well with the page, the sow and cub, the river, the running wolf, the soaring eagle and the lake and mountain.... I hope that helps. It is hard to beleive that Giant erupted and David didn't post a message.... we'll have to get on his case... ha! Thanks for all your help and kind words. We will be back in the park on Labor Day weekend, are you going to be there? Take care!
John
