Last year’s event ended when a female Rainbow Family member “with black dreadlocks whose hippy name is ‘Hitler’ stabbed a man in the head and shoulder.”

Yes, her hippy name is “Hitler.”

The Rainbow Family of Living Light wants to hold its annual druggie love-fest in the Black Hills, but a local Native American group is fighting back.

James Swan parked his old Dodge alongside the South Dakota visitor center, where grungy hippies were sprawled on a lawn and passing around a feather. The two-dozen vagabonds are planning to unleash thousands of their brethren into the Black Hills for prayer and free thinking. But Swan wasn’t feeling the peace and love.

“We don’t want you here. You have no f—king respect for Lakota people!” the 54-year-old Native American yelled into a mic attached to his truck. His T-shirt bore another message: portraits of warriors who had shellacked the U.S. Army in the Battle of Little Bighorn, alongside the words “Original Homeland Security.”

“They aren’t listening to anybody,” Swan told The Daily Beast of the phalanx of graying flower children and their next-generation recruits. “This might work for them everywhere in other states, but they’re dealing with Lakotas now.”

“We’re a warrior society,” he added. “We don’t want violence, but this is our culture, our sacredness and we will protect it.” […]

In summer of 2014, the Rainbow Family gathered at Uinta National Forest in Utah, prompting a nearby summer camp for Mormon girls to scatter. “You’re a rainbow family. He’s a rainbow family. People in the White House are a rainbow family,” one reveler named Novel announced when he arrived.

“It’s about world peace,” Novel told FOX 13 in Salt Lake City. “But I personally believe it’s like a very excellent place to meet people, to network, to become the true you.”

But by the end of the event, a woman with black dreadlocks whose hippy name is “Hitler” had stabbed a man in the head and shoulder.

Leilani Novak-Garcia was charged with attempted murder, but prosecutors reduced her charges to aggravated assault after she pleaded “no contest.” The victim told police Hitler’s freakout was “out of character and likely the result of “taking some bad drugs.”

“We’ve gotten some [Rainbow people] saying you need to come out here and experience the hippie love,” the Lakota activist Clark told The Daily Beast. “Peace, love, we want to be your friend and respect your people. No, we don’t trust you any more than the government—possibly less.”
