Follow up to the South Dakota Outreach Efforts

People of Rosebud & Pine Ridge Reservations are in need of emergency assistance following severe blizzard & weather conditions…even though the weather has warmed up, more severe storms are expected to come to the Region throughout the Winter. Children, elderly, disabled, and sick are in need of heat and winter necessities. On Nov. 5th, they were recently slammed by high winds, rain and snow storms. According to Robert E. Eagle Elk, CAP District Coordinator for Pine Ridge, SD "this was an early storm for us" and they were not prepared for the extent of this storm, which knocked out electricity, due to 100's of power poles going down in the storms. Eagle Elk said roads were impassable in some places. Some went without power for a couple of weeks and are still in great need of even some basic items. The Tulalip Boys & Girls Club-Tulalip Multi-Media Youth Club has formed a "Circle of Hope- A Circle of Giving" with the following: Tulalip Tribes; T.E.R.O; Tulalip Resort & Casino; Tulalip Lion's Club; and Building Partnerships for a Brighter Future. We want to share the inpooring of donations and provide info how you too can help! We will invite those from the last show to call in with updates & a few more who responded to the initial Call To Action.... Help is on the way!
