The Black Snake Prophecy, Tunksila,

and the Lakota Magic Show

Dear Friend,

Most people who followed the efforts to stop the Dakota Access Pipeline from cutting through Lakota territory are acquainted with the Black Snake Prophecy, but few are familiar with its origins and scope. That’s why subscribers to Indian Country are eagerly looking forward to the next installation of acclaimed illustrator Marty Two Bulls’ new graphic series, which will tell the story of the Black Snake Prophecy with the clarity and poignancy that Two Bulls so expertly expresses.

His series is called Winter Count, and the innovative mix of artwork and words has elevated the work of Marty Two Bulls to new heights. Past installments have included Tunksila, the revelatory re-telling of the Lakota’s origin in the stars, and the spellbinding lessons in the Lakota Magic Show.

This enlightening retelling of rich cultural traditions is available exclusively to subscribers; if you are not an Indian Country magazine subscriber, you will miss out on witnessing Two Bull’s art-form unfold with each issue.

However, you can still read the series in its entirety and make sure you never miss another new installment if you subscribe today!
