It has been several weeks since a early blizzard touched down, leaving many, many people cold, without any alternative heat, stranded without electricity and unprepared to deal with extreme weather conditions of this particular snow storm that came to Rosebud & Pine Ridge Reservations, on Nov 5th.

Through a news reporter from SD, Tamra Brennan of NDN News, word first came my way…I was all too aware of the third world conditions of this region and worried even more so when I heard about people burning furniture to stay warm and staying home to protect the little they have from looters.

About the Artists:

Wolf grew up on the Navajo reservation and lived a life of tradition. He walks in two worlds and tells his stories from both sides.

Most importantly, Skylar wishes to dedicate his life's work for the children, teaching and guiding them towards a better life or a new beginning. His message is one of hope and redemption: a life free from addiction and suffering is a life of beauty and harmony.
www.skylar-wolf.com
Michael Bucher is a Cherokee singer-songwriter who was taught from the beginning of his memory the stories, language and legends of his people. His songs are intended to teach, heal and bring an awareness to everyone who hears them. He sings about topics that are important to him and others in Indian Country. From the desecration of sacred sites, to Cherokee legends, to the sometimes seemingly Invisible Indian, there's a passionate quality throughout. With strong vocals and heartfelt lyrics, his music is a blend of acoustic guitar, native and a contemporary drum, flute, shakers, rattles, bass and electric guitars, and cuts a swath through native folk, blues and rock.
Bucher is twice nominated at the Native American Music Awards for "Best Debut Artist" and "Best Folk" (2007), "Best Short Form Music Video" for DIRTY WATER (2008), Indian Summer Music Awards double nominee for "Best Folk" and "Best Pop", and 2008 Native E Music Awards winner for "Best Political Song" from his 2006 CD release, SEVEN. www.michaelbucher.com
J. D. Nash is a Southern Cheyenne Country/Blues/Rock performer from Topeka, Kansas. His love for music started at a very young age. Listening to country music on the family radio in the morning, and hearing his older sibling's rock and roll records in the afternoon. The love only grew stronger over time and soon consumed him. J.D. signed in 2005 with runningmouthMedia, a promotions and record company in Jersey City, New Jersey, owned by NAMMY award winning artist, Wayquay.
In early 2006, J.D. returned to the studio and began laying down tracks for a second CD, "So There I Was…" Many accomplished musicians and writers contributed to this project, making it worthy of 6 submissions for NAMMY nominations and a Native-E Music Award for the song, "How You Gonna Be?" Upon completion of the CD, the popular band, Backlash, joined with J.D. to become Red Circle headlining shows and opening for acts such as Chris Caffery (Savatage/Tran-Siberian Orchestra); Doro Pesch (Warlok) and several others.
Wind Spirit Drum is an Eastern Woodland Native family that shares their Mic Mac, Lenape and Cherokee heritage and culture through flute and drum performance art. They educate and story tell with song and music in English and native language. Windwalker, in addition to being the group's flutist and lead singer is fluent in many instruments and genres. She is a Native American healer and a licensed massage therapist. Spirit Buffalo is the group's resolute drum. He passes on his knowledge of his heritage through seminars on drum making and educational native performances. www.windspiritdrum.com
Lady Hope is Lakota and was born on the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation, Pine Ridge, South Dakota. Hope Brings Plenty a.k.a. Lady Hope, singer/ rapper for the group Native Era has been singing gospel since the age of 5 and began rapping in 2002.
The reason, purpose she feels why she chooses to do Hip-Hop, R&B in this type of style, no profanity nor explicit content in Native Era's music is because she cares about what the youth and the older generation listen to, specifically with Hip-Hop, R&B music.
The goal or level that she prays and hopes to reach is to make it big and crossover so that Native Era may become an independent and major record label and also help other Native American Hip-Hop, R&B artist to succeed.

California tribe donates $100,000 to blizzard aid
By Journal staff | Sunday, November 30, 2008
"When the tribe was made aware of the situation at Pine Ridge and at Rosebud, we knew we had to assist our brother and sister tribes," said Chairman James Ramos of the San Manuel Band of Serrano Mission Indians of San Bernardino. Wildfires in California galvanized desire among his tribe's members to help the Lakota, he said.

RECENT NEWS:
NEW: FOR RIDERS:
it has been requested that everyone involved with the ride bring their own plates, cups, bowls and silverware in order to cut down on our garbage, the ride organizers would like this ride to be 'GREEN' in keeping with the 'old ways'.

We wanted to put this out to the community in the chance that someone might have ideas for finding a mobile device. It doesn't have to be pretty, all it has to do is block the wind and have 4 wheels :) Feel free to contact us if any of you have any thoughts or ideas.
If anyone in the local area would be able to make a hot dish for the riders for the 17th, please let Marge, Gloria or Alice know, thanks.
Also if anyone wants to give a hand serving the food again please contact the same people. Food will be served on both the 17th and the 18th.

"I am not sure if you or anyone there has seen this,but it is a fair discription of how things are for these people.Just so you know,during the storm there were several elders who's conditions were unknown and many feared for the worst because some of them were on dialysis and others were already low on food and water.When the Red Cross came around they handed out MRE's to the people and a few bottles of water,they said they would return but never showed back up to even check on the people.You can imagine how hard it must have been for some of them,being in a house without electricity,water and no heat,using everything at your disposal to try and stay warm!That is life for many of the people,33% of the homes are with out electricity,water and plumbing already,66% of the houses would have to be burned down because of black mold,the list goes on!Diabete's is out of control,cancer,infant mortality rate,and so much more,they live in third world conditions RIGHT HERE IN OUR COUNTRY!And it seems NO one cares about the continued genocide of the first people of this country!SO,with all of this being said,I am asking,"Is there anyway your organization can shed light on this so the people can get some help quicker?"as of right now,the only ones helping are a few Native groups and since the populations of the Native people number less then 1% of the entire population here in the United States,we cannot get anyone to help.Please if there is anyway to help,I would(as well as all Native people)greatly appreciate it.Thank you for your time in this matter,I sincerely hope there is something that you can do for the Native people.
Sincerely,Gordon Williams
