Yesterday, as I started to receive messages from a few friends at the Oceti Sakowin camp encouraging us not to go due to weather, I felt deeply disappointed and was still considering going until the camp sent out an official notice informing us that no one would be allowed into the camp until the weather improved.
So it is with a heavy heart that our trip has been cancelled. However, we are in contact with a local organization that will leave for Standing Rock as soon as the weather clears and we will coordinate with them to take all the wonderful supplies that have been donated.
The photo doesn’t fully show all the supplies. We have over a dozen show boots, wool blankets and socks, thermal gloves, warm heavy snow coats and jackets, ski pants, head lamps, batteries, flashlights, foodstuffs, etc.!! And many of these items are new; people actually went out and bought items to donate. My heart is full of gratitude.
Thank you all who donated and are continuing to keep the brave water protectors in your thoughts and prayers.
I also have nearly $3000 dollars to transfer directly to the camp!
