Actually it is pronounced Wakȟáŋ Tȟáŋka, it is kind of hard to translate into english because it doesn't quite mean God, or Great Spirit. More like.. Great Mystery?Unknown.. As I said it is difficult. It is part of the spirit of nature, and since we are all connected hopefully a part of you both will help carry her loved ones spirit onto the River.. That is easier to translate since it is visible. That is what the Sioux call the Milky Way.
