Dennis James "D.J." Banks

I have read of your earthly activism and have wished always to be native. You are the epitome of a human being, as are all your people. I just saw you the movie "older than america". Thank you for your works on earth. Greet the ancestors for us.

Keeping company with the star nations, I walk around at night when all the humans are asleep and it’s just me, listening to the horses, to the breeze, inhaling the scents carried on the wind, those scents known to the animals but few humans. So much intra-species communication carried on the wind. I don’t think the scientists have figured that out yet. They haven’t learned to listen to the animals. Dennis taught us many things. He’s just gone to a better place now.

Great man.

You are still missed so very much. They world is a little bit more empty without you here.

May you rest in peace

Always remember as a child you and kamook would sneak out of wounded knee and go to my grandmas to re-supply. You guys were laughing so hard about how at wounded knee you would bury pot lids in the ground and the national guard thought they were land mines, so they were to scared to rush in. Condolences to the family. Great Man, Great Warrior!!

He was my friend. I shall miss you and always love you, Banks. Love, your JoJo

Rest in Peace, your service to your people will be remembered always.
