It is my sadness to pass on the news of Lakota passing from earthly life to eternal life. He came into this world on May 2, 1991 and exited on May 8, 2002. He will be laid to rest in late September of 2002 along with two of his pack mates. The were all from the Sawtooth Pack. Lakota was the eldest.
Two days prior to my learning of his passing into eternal Life, I saw three beautiful Black Vultures standing by the road as I drove. They let me get witihin fifteen feet of them before one took off in flight. The Black Vulture represents life, death and rebirth, so I figure the one taking flight represented Lakota doing likewise. Black Vulture also represents knowledege of a loved ones death. It all comes together to me.
I wish you peace, WolfHawk.
(P.S.: Days later, while meditating in a park, I saw Black Vulture soaring over head. What a blessing that was!!!)
