This declaration is the Lakota, Dakota and Nakota nations' own primary statement, adopted unanimously on 10 June 1993 by an international gathering of their own representatives, and this record holds it as a custodian source for exactly that reason: it is the holders' own statement of what they permit and forbid regarding their own ceremonies, not an outside observer's account. It names specific practices it objects to, imitation sweat lodge ceremonies, vision quests and puberty ceremonies sold for money by self proclaimed teachers with no standing within the tradition. Use it to establish the Lakota, Dakota and Nakota nations' own documented position on the commercial exploitation of their ceremonies; it is not a general ethnographic source on the ceremonies' own content, which needs a different kind of source given their restricted status.
