Robert E. Eagle Elk, CAP District Coordinator for Ogalala Tribe in Pine Ridge, SD will be talking about the severe temps & winter conditions in their Region & who is helping to try & keep electricity on for many low income families in their area. Going without power in this region is all to common, some have to choose between power or food needs. In the Winter so many suffer silently & many people want to help- sometimes it is confusing to know what is needed & where to send donations to meet the great need of even some basic items- Heat being the biggest need right now!
