America has it's own 3rd World Country. It's located in South Dakota. I'm referring to Pine Ridge Reservation. There, our first nation people live in such extreme poverty, that the concept, let alone the word, "opportunity" isn't in their vocabulary. To go to school they must travel 100 miles, with stomachs empty of both dinner and breakfast: the incentive, one school meal a day. Floors, that exist are battlefields of missing boards and dry rot. All the rest are dirt. They're lucky to have one mattress, which serves in the, 32 degrees below weather, to huddle on for warmth. Not everyone is so lucky. Bed sheets only exist in their dreams. No water. No electric, or gas. No trees to chop for fire. No axe. And twice, planted in an attempt to create a brick construction based economy, their industrial (sterilized) hemp crops have been cut down and confiscated at harvest time, by our Feds. All this is happening in the name of Uranium and the Nuclear Industry development.

The only thing the citizens of Pine Ridge are allowed is the alcohol sold to them by non-aboriginal citizens, who have raised roof just four feet beyond the reservation border, just after Pine Ridge declared prohibition of all alcohol sales and consumption. This town is allowed to remain despite the repeated protest of Tribal Counsel and Pine Ridge citizens. It consists of four alcohol stores and a quickie mart. It's bad movie, except it's not a movie. It's real life in Pine Ridge South Dakota. The Oglala Lakota are American citizens who are being tortured.

What if it were you?

This year I am asking all those who become aware to make a commitment of giving to the Pine Ridge Welcome Home Shelter. View the Blog entitled "Just Another Story Of Things We Don't Understand". You will find links and information on the problem and giving solutions. And if you live close to me, you can drop off clothing and box foods/assundries and I'll pay for the shipping to get them to Autumn Twobulls, the shelter's founder.

Like I said in the blog, I know you have something in your closet that you won't miss, but the people of Pine Ridge will.

Yours Truly,
eve
