October 1, 2016 | Many thanks to all, and for InStove Rocket Stove

Getting mostly packed to leave in the morning, so many people to thank, so little time.

Some highlights (sorry for those missed):

Fred Cogan with InStove (pictured) with the wood-fired rocket stove that can sterilize instruments; WellFuture with donated children’s vitamins and probiotics; Cafe Mam with 50 pounds of organic coffee for the main kitchen; Dusty Dmitri Bloomingheart for loads of stuff for both trips, this time returnable mugs and water bottles; Joanne Holland for the buffalo hide; Brad Mowreader with a wood stove and wool blankets; Laurel Caccivio and Katrina Mangiafico with a wood stove and wool blankets; Clare Strawn with a canopy, tools, axes, and lots of other stuff; Nomadics Tipis with a tipi and so much help.

The 78 people who donated cash to my gofundme account which made this all possible and is used to buy things that otherwise would fall through the cracks. All the people who mailed stuff.

Here is what I have learned lately. People are good. Really good. Yep, still evil in the world, like the corporate mother rapers, but I am filled with hope, because with this much love, we can’t lose. Love and Service always win over hate and greed.

While my focus is care for people in the camps, we need to keep our attention on the cause, as protecting the water in Standing Rock is just the beginning.

Stay on top of the politics people; I will keep on the herbs.

October 1, 2016 | Linda Black Elk, Super Hero

Linda Black Elk has moved from my Hero to Super Hero, as she is doing so much for the Healers Camp and medics, helping me daily, driving donated herbal products out, and has time to read the politics and write coherently. And she is a wife, the mother of a very small child, and a teacher.

I am honored to know her.

September 30, 2016 | Joanne Holland Medicine Lodge Buffalo Hide

My friend Joanne Holland, an MD and herbalist from whom I have learned much, today passed to me an incredible gift for the Medicine Lodge. A buffalo hide she received from a doctor, so it has always been in the care of healers.

I can’t say how much I am honored and blessed to create space for this to be brought for healing for the Water Protectors.

September 30, 2016 | Daphne’s Gift: Healing Community Lodge Tipi

A GIFT to DAPHNE Singingtree at Standing Rock.

On September 20 we posted that Daphne was gifted a tipi as a Healing Community Lodge for Standing Rock. It was purchased by Brian R Davis with our 15% donation discount and we added some painting for free.

Brian’s signature is an Eagle Feather, which we painted on the lodge as well. The tipi is currently on Erica’s truck on its way to Standing Rock.
