SEASON GIFTING...help our list of helpers grow
GREETINGS,
It is that time of year again when we begin to think
of winter cold and those in need. For many of our Elders and children
it is a time without the basic necessities, for others it is a struggle
day to day with nothing left for any amenities whatsoever.
The Staff of Native News will be compiling a list of
recipient organizations and individuals known and trusted who have participated
in years past in assistance to our people.
For instance, is there a heating fuel fund for heating
costs? Current funds in some areas cover far less than the cost of
one month in a season already much colder than last.

Mr. Boneshirt and others did a pretty good job of cleaning
up some of
the administration at the Rosebud/Sichangu Oyate (Tribal
Offices) and, as a result they now have a new Treasurer of the Rosebud
Sioux Tribe.The new guy, I know. He understands the problems encountered
by the elders on the Reservation. He and I have shared the same roof
in the cold of the South Dakota winter night (along with anyone else who
needed a place to crash). We have both made the dash to the outbuilding
for a smoke in the cold of the night (it's not warm, just out of the wind
- Mom won't let anyone smoke inside her house). Anyway, if anyone
is feeling generous, the addy is above and this has already been a brutal
winter on the high plains. I will vouch for Jim Wike, Tribal Treasurer,
because he is my Brother (adoptive) and I am proud of him.

The Adopt-A-Native-Elder Program
(not to be confused with the now defunct "adopt
a Grandparent" program}
exists to create a bridge of hope between Native Americans
and other cultures. It allows us to reach out to one another, share our
gifts, and mend the broken circle of our relationship with the Land and
the Native Americans who hold it in sacred trust.
The Program supports the traditional Elders who live
in the cultural and spiritual traditions of The Dine' People. Most live
in remote portions of the Dine's (Navajo) reservation. Many live in traditional
hogans, and some raise sheep as a means of maintaining themselves. The
Program provides food, simple medicines, clothing, fabric and yarns to
help these Elders live on the Land in their traditional lifestyle. As they
have become elderly, it has become more difficult for them to support themselves
on the Land in their traditional ways...
