Winter at Pine Ridge

Aho! This month, Cannápopa Wi; Moon when the trees crack due to the cold– is partially living up to its Lakota name. Temperatures hover around zero. But, thankfully the trees are standing strong and are beautifully decked in ice and surrounded in a mantle snow. No groundhogs popped up looking for their shadow around here. However, we sighted a young eagle and that’s always a good sign!

Founders Forum

Last weekend we headed over to Rosebud for the conclusion of Founders Day Forum and Powwow. Check out Sinta Gleska University for pictures and videos. http://www.sintegleska.edu The event, combines education with a powwow and space for we artists to sell our crafts. It’s an opportunity to meet up with relatives and friends. Here are some highlights of our brief but spectacular time there. Now we’re back home continuing working on hand drums and feathered fans for the next generation of powwow dancers. Until next time- ti ou pi chi ya.
