In the same way, “Ikce Wicasa” interpreted as "animal" is a poor translation because it separates humans and the rest of the creation. It creates a hierarchy and an assumption that contradicts the Lakota Belief System. In Lakota "mitakuye oyasin" means we are all related, so as “Ikce Wicasa/Man”, we must practice humility toward the rest of creation. Hoka Hey!
