ROSEBUD RESERVATION
After two weeks of steady rain, the
skies cleared long enough for the
33rd Annual Elder Games to take
place at the excellently prepared old
track field at St. Francis Indian
School. Families, friends and advo-
cates again came together to honor
Elders on Tribal Elder Day, at the
same location where the event has
been held since its inception 33
years ago.
The event opened with a tradi-
tional prayer by Wayne Bear
Shield, followed by a prayer by
Mother Lauren and welcoming
comments by Ann Roubideaux,
Sicangu Elderly Concerns, Board
president, and Charlee Archam-
bault, Elder Games Committee
member, also representing St Fran-
cis Indian School.
The Elder Games remains possi-
ble because of the efforts of volun-
teers and the support and donations
of local individuals, businesses and
programs, including Elderly Nutri-
tion, Elderly Affairs, and St Francis
Indian School. Appreciation for the
presence of Rosebud Ambulance
Service and Rosebud Police Dept.
for looking after Tribal Elders can-
not be overestimated.
Welcome additions to the annual
event were the Community Health
Reps and the Circle of Life Home
Care programs. Both provided
health screenings, including blood
pressure checks as well as access to
additional services for Elders.
A highlight of the Elder games

ROSEBUD RESERVATION – A
complimentary spay/neuter clinic
held over the weekend saw 515
small animals (dogs and cats) un-
dergo surgery, receive rabies vac-
cinations and other minor medical
treatments.
“The Rosebud Sioux Tribe’s spay/
neuter and vaccination clinic pro-
vided free services to 515 animals
in 3 days,” stated Darci Adams,
ND/SD State Director for the Hu-
mane Society of the United States
(HSUS). “Our hosts, volunteers,
community members and surgery
team were top notch; that made 265
surgeries and 250 vaccination ap-
pointments possible.”
Dr. Eric Jayne, a veterinarian who
resides in Hawaii, assembled a
team of students from both Iowa
and Kansas State Universities to
help provide surgical procedures to
265 small animals on Rosebud. Dr.
Ladd and Dr. Gossard, who trav-
eled from Arkansas and North Da-
kota, respectively, were also mem-
bers of the surgical team who spent
the weekend working at the clinic.
“It was an amazing RST spay/
neuter clinic, I’m so grateful for an
awesome host and top-notch sur-
gery team,” HSUS Director Adams
said.
The clinic was made possible by
the Rosebud Sioux Tribe’s Animal
Care & Control program. “When I
saw all the good things Kathleen
Wooden Knife was doing, I knew
we had to partner,” HSUS Director
Adams continued.
The veterinarian team offered certi-
fied surgery services to dogs and
cats at no charge. The appointment
slots offered in advance by Wood-
en Knife, who organized the free
weekend spay/neuter clinic, filled
up early with small animals sched-
uled to be spayed or neutered.
The surgical clinic also offered
hands-on experience to the student
team of technicians in preparing
animals for surgical procedures, as
well as helping them with recovery.
Wooden Knife said some of the
students could possibly do their
internships at the Rosebud Clinic.
HSUS provided all 250 compli-
mentary doses of rabies vaccine
and other medication used to treat
minor medical conditions on the
animals who underwent surgery.
Volunteers manned a table and reg-
istered all the animals who came on
a walk-in basis just to receive a ra-
bies shot. By early Sunday after-
noon, the walk-in vaccine clinic
had to close down because they had
given all the doses out to cats and
dogs.
Several local volunteers, including
trustees from the Adult Correction-
al Facility, put their animal whis-
pering skills to work and helped
with recovery techniques for all the
pets. Most of the costs associated
with the clinic were covered by the
HSUS. All three veterinarians
worked free of charge.
An equine clinic was held on June
13-14, 2019 in Mission, SD. The
Iowa State University Equine Pro-
gram and Dr. Eric Jayne were
available to provide medical ser-
vices for horses. Vaccination, cas-
tration, deworming and dental pro-
cedures were available to horses.

vices provided by the Humane So-

We are disappointed to learn that
yesterday (June 6, 2019), the 9th
Circuit Court of Appeals, without
any legal analysis, discussion or
explanation, dismissed the first
KXL lawsuit. This was the separate
lawsuit that the Indigenous Envi-
ronmental Network, North Coast
Rivers Alliance and Northern
Plains Resource Council were
pushing against TransCanada (now
TC Energy) and the US State De-
partment and other governmental
entities on environmental concerns.
There was an injunction in place
that prohibited most of TransCana-
da’s construction activities. That
injunction will also be dissolved.
President Trump issued a new per-
mit for this express purpose. By
doing so, he has exceeded his au-
thority in many, many ways in vio-
lation of the Constitution, which he
swore to preserve, protect and de-
fend. He is unabashedly aiding a
foreign company as it commits a
depredation of our lands and our
natural resources – all in violation
of the treaties.
We have not lost! Our amended
complaint is based on our treaty
claims. It is titled Rosebud Sioux
Tribe et al. v. Trump, et al. Yester-
day’s (June 6, 2019) ruling does not
affect our treaty or Constitutional
claims. We are standing on our
treaties as they are, according to
Article VI, clause 2 of the United
States Constitution, the “supreme
law of the land.” President Trump
has overstepped his authority and
his actions will not stand. We are
working closely with out attorneys
at the Native American Rights
Fund (NARF) and expect to take
further action very soon.
We are encouraged by and grateful
for the support we have received
from other tribal leaders, our water
protectors and others. Many of our
people addressed the Rosebud
Sioux Tribe’s Tribal Utility Com-
mission at the public hearing held
at St. Francis Indian School on May
28-29, 2019.
We may see some activity in the
meantime and we need to stay vigi-
lant. Please continue to report what
you see to the Tribal Historic
Preservation Office (THPO) at
(605) 747-4255 and the Sicangu
Oyate Land Office (SOLO) at (605)
747-4225.

NELIGH, NE — A gigantic message
to President Trump, etched into a 33-
acre Nebraska cornfield was unveiled
on Wednesday, featuring the U.S.
Constitution’s “We the People” and
iconic images of a bison and water
paired with the twin hashtags “#No
45” and “#No KXL,” in direct refer-
ence to the current President and the
proposed Keystone XL tarsands ex-
port pipeline.
The #NoKXL Crop Art is based on a
design conceived by Lakota artist
Steve Tamayo with input from sever-
al Tribal Nations and local Nebraska
artist Justin Kemerling, and a sketch
by artist Jessica K. The image was
created last weekend by nearly 100
volunteers who attended the Sixth
Annual Sacred Ponca Corn Planting
on the Tanderup farm, and land now
deeded to the Ponca Nation, that lies
directly in the path of the proposed
KXL pipeline as well as the Ponca
Trail of Tears.
Members of the Ponca Nation of Ok-
lahoma, Ponca Tribe of Nebraska,
Winnebago Tribe, Cheyenne River
Sioux Tribe, Cowboy Indian Alliance,
Bold Nebraska, farmers, ranchers and
other Nebraskans opposed to KXL
participated in the corn planting and
crop art creation.
The farm just north of Neligh has
been in Art and Helen Tanderup’s
family for generations, and for the
past five years has been used to re-
store the Ponca Tribe’s sacred corn to
the indigenous people’s ancestral
homeland.
Pres. Trump recently incorrectly stat-
ed the KXL pipeline was under con-
struction Legal hurdles continue to
keep the pipeline in limbo.

MILKS CAMP – Eight young la-
dies from the Rosebud Reservation
completed the Isnati Awica Low-
anpi Ceremonial Camp for Girls in
June.
The coming of age ceremony and is
conducted by the mothers, grand-
mothers and elderly grandmothers
of the community or tribe for the
past 17 years. The girls are taught
the roles and responsibilities of a
Lakota woman and how to take on
those roles and carry these teaching
throughout their life. The girls must
have a helper to go through the cer-
emony; helpers are usually young
ladies who have already completed
the ceremony.
The young ladies, mentors and
helpers don’t leave the camp for 4
days. There are certain protocols
that are followed during this cere-
mony, including inipi. The public is
generally invited to witness the
coming out ceremony held on the
fourth day.
Lakota Youth Development (LYD)
has held this ceremony for seven-
teen years for young Lakota ladies.
LYD is a non-profit organization
established in 1992 by Executive
Director Marla Bull Bear. LYD is a
statewide, non-profit, grassroots
organization serving persons resid-
ing on and off the lands of the tribal
nations in South Dakota.
Ms. Bull Bear is a Rosebud tribal
citizen and holds a Masters in
Counseling from Sinte Gleska Uni-
versity. LYD is driven by the belief
that Native youth need to know
their culture and have access to
people, places and environments
that help them to develop healthy
June—July 2019
lifestyles, without
alcohol, drugs or
violence.
The Mission of the
organization is: “To
Reclaim Lakota lan-
guage, culture and
Spirituality by pro-
moting education
and healthy life-
styles for our youth
through culturally
based strategies.
“Our goal is to re-
establish and sup-
port a Hocoka
(Sacred Circle) for
the Oyate (people)
to facilitate positive
direction in their
lives through Lakota Language,
culture values and spirituality with
our horse nation relatives.” https://
www.lakotayouthdevelopment.org/
Using culturally specific curricu-
lum and strategies, Lakota Youth
Development meets the goal
through afterschool and summer
programs, weekend youth retreats,
equine life skills training, as well as
our Lakota song, dance and youth
society drumming programs.
These activities offer the opportuni-
ty for: leadership development, so-
cial skills development, relationship
building, healing from trauma and
fear management, all leading to-
ward increased self-esteem and
confidence. The organization has
created a conscious continuum of
development for our youth; they
begin building relationships and
trust during afterschool sessions.
The Wolakota camp series allows
the sharing of cultural experiences.
Cultural involvement is deepened
through youth societies and re-
treats. Through social enterprises
which they conceive, lead and oper-
ate with Lakota cultural values,
they learn practical business and
employment skills that help prepare
them for financial independence as
young adults.
With the support and guidance of
the LYD leadership, Elder advisors
and skilled business mentors, our
youth are immersed in a safe non-
judgmental nurturing environment
that inspires trust, healthy relation-
ships, and leadership development.
LYD operates the Tiwahe Wicoti,
or family camp, located in the
Milks Community of the Rosebud
Reservation, 5.5 miles south east of
St. Charles, SD in Gregory County.
The camp utilizes 7 -18 ft canvas
Tipis that staff and volunteers assist
and teach
campers to
erect for their
stay. Each
lodge houses
up to 8 people
(depending on
whether they
use cots/
mattresses etc.)
and are desig-
nated for male
or female
campers.
There is a fully
equipped camp
Volume 12—Issue 4—Page 3
kitchen with 2 electric ranges, two
refrigerators, freezer space availa-
ble and all cooking equipment
(pots, pans etc.)
The camp has hosted participants
from 5 years old to 82 years old and
have a variety of activities availa-
ble. Minors must have adult super-
vision at all times and we ask that
all participants engage in activities
that they are physically capable of
doing without injury. For volunteer,
work groups we recognize that the
older the youth participants, the
more options there are for projects.
We ask that there be a 2:1 ratio of
adult for children under 12 years
old.
The camp is an alcohol and tobacco
free environment. Tobacco is only
allowed for ceremonial use. All
projects will have camp staff and
local tribal youth society members
to assist and participate with the
group.
Upcoming camps are: July 15-18
Lakota Leadership Camp. August 6
-7 Hunt Safe certification Camp.
August 12-15 Summer Lakota
Medicines. September 13-15 Fall
Hunt weekend Camp. TBA-Horse
Camp and Bow making camps.
The youth society also offers
Sweetgrass braids, honey and hand-
made parfleche ornaments for sale.

Meth Task Force – Richard Lunder-
man
Richard Lunderman – Spiritually –
your own individual spirituality is
the most effective response to
fighting meth use. Police – increase
number of officers. Incarceration is
not the answer. Tribal Action Plan
was approved by the Council in
2012. The plan itself calls for up-
dating every two years. More focus
needs to be given this plan which
needs to be fully implemented and
the staff it calls for need to be hired.
This plan speaks to the trauma, the
intergenerational trauma experi-
enced by the people. Tribal Law &
Order Act – TLOA – Chief Judge
Sherman has been working on this.
The Tribal Action Plan is affected
by TLOA. Jail sentences, etc. Tribal
family unity – bringing families to-
gether – rehabilitating people. If
you are out there manufacturing or
selling meth, you need to be treated
as a criminal. Restorative justice.
Recommendation to Budget & Fi-
nance Committee – Elderly Con-
cerns primary purpose is the reha-
bilitation of houses for elders but in
responding to the needs of elders,
the staff of this program sees the
abuse of elders. Spotted Crisis Cen-
ter – full all the time, staff there is
overworked and not paid very well.
Need to supplement that budget to
show we have respect for the ser-
vice they provide working with the
children. Sicangu Child & Family –
we should supplement those fami-
lies who take in children. Identify a
Safe Home in every community and
supplement those households who
take in children providing a safe
environment for children who go
there on their own. The Tribal Ac-
tion Plan is a start. Let’s do the
work. It will take approximately a
quarter million dollars to fund the
staff to implement this plan. It will
progress in small steps but the jour-
ney needs to begin. We need to put
together a strong mental health pro-
gram. We need to find professionals
and take away the stigma attached
to utilizing mental health services.
Other resources are available out
there, an application was submitted
to the State and the RST has been
offered to enter into an agreement
to provide services. An issue with
this grant is sovereign immunity, a
limited waiver of sovereign immun-
ity. The key to address this is don’t
do anything illegal and it will not be
an issue. SWA – we supported the
testing of housing units. Absolutely
nothing wrong with trying to create
a safe home. Funding is available,
we need the construction crews to
get to work and to work consistent-
ly. Task Force want to create hope
for the youth again.
Others here are Task Force,
Attorney General’s Office, Law En-
forcement and Alcohol Treatment
Program.
TASK FORCE – Summer Lunder-
man, Member –
There are things in the Law & Or-
der Code which can be utilized to
begin the process of helping our
relatives. The Law & Order Code
needs to be amended and updated.
Spotted Tail gets about $21-25 a
day per kid. Funding needs to be
available to these families who are
taking in relatives. Spotted Tail Cri-
sis Center is a valuable resource we
have as it takes in children under
DSS and Sicangu Child & Family.
Programs dealing with children
need to be a priority. TLOA needs
to be incorporated because it allows
us to have stricter penalties and it
allows us to collaborate.

made not to fund inpatient care
State Medicaid Funding
Tribe’s lawyers need to negotiate
with the State as she does not want
her 638 Contract jeopardized. As it
is the requirements for the 638 con-
tract and the states are in conflict. If
you want the state to fund the meth
care, get our attorneys to contract
with the state without giving up
sovereign immunity.
Lila Kills In Sight – Tribe has de-
clared a state of emergency twice.
This action means we have lost
control, declaring a state of emer-
gency is done to reclaim control.
Our Law & Order Code needs to be
amended. Council is not to be mi-
cromanaging but ghetto mentality is
here. Our elders are sad, the chil-
dren don’t know who they are. We
need to hold the parents accounta-
ble. Our children are in a crisis.
Don’t be afraid to interact with one
another.

ROSEBUD RESERVATION – The
Rosebud Sioux Tribal Employment
& Contracting Rights Office
(TECRO) operates on the Rosebud
Reservation under the authority of
TECRO Ordinance 86-03.
The TECRO ordinance states “The
power to regulate trade and com-
merce and to levy taxes within res-
ervation boundaries and tribal lands
outside the boundaries that are sub-
ject to tribal jurisdiction are aspects
of the retained sovereignty of an
Indian Tribe, except where limited
or withdrawn by Federal authority.
The Rosebud Sioux Tribe is a sov-
ereign Indian tribe.”
TECRO is authorized to impose
“Employment Rights Fees to raise
revenue for the operation of” their
duties as outlined in Ordinance 86-
03. TECRO “fees are imposed on
construction because such contrac-
tors pose substantially greater en-
forcement burdens and cost than
other things, construction contrac-
tors and all related fields such as
architects, engineers, consultants,
surveyors, testing firms, etc. [who]
(a) frequently hire a substantial
number of employees for relatively
short periods and (b) frequently are
present on the Reservation for only
a relatively short period of time.”
The TECRO Ordinance also states
that “In order to raise revenue for
the operation of the TECRO Office
and Commission, an Employment
& Contracting Rights Fee is hereby
imposed as follows:
“With respect to each construction
contract of $5,000.00 or more on
the Rosebud Reservation, the con-
struction contractor shall pay a one-
time fee of 3 percent of the total
amount of the contract, plus a fee
of 3 percent of any increases in the
contract amount.
“If a contractor initially enters into
a contract of $5,000.00 or less, but
subsequent increases result in a to-
tal contract amount of $5,000.00 or
more, the fee shall apply to the total
contract amount, including increas-
es.
“The primary liability for the fee
imposed by this section shall lie
with the primary contractor. A sub-
contractor shall be subject to the
fee on his subcontract only to the
extent that the primary contractor
has failed to pay the fee on the
prime contract under which the
subcontract was issued.
“If the TECRO Commission deter-
mines that the entity has broken
what would normally be one con-
struction project into multiple con-
tracts, for the purpose, in whole or
in part, of evading the fee imposed
by this section, all of the entity’s
contractors shall be liable for the
fee, notwithstanding the fact that
their individual contracts may be
for amounts of less than $5,000.00.
The fee provided for in Ordinance
86-03 shall be paid by the Contrac-
tor prior to commencing work on
the Rosebud Reservation. The
TECRO Director shall be responsi-
ble for collecting all Employment
and Contracting Rights Fees pursu-
ant to any rules and regulations that
may be adopted by the TECRO
Commission. Any contractor who
fails to pay the fee imposed shall be
subject to the remedial actions pro-
vided for by Ordinance 86-03.
In addition, before any construction
project is started, a covered em-
ployer must submit an acceptable
employment preference Compli-
ance Plan to the TECRO staff. No
new covered employer may com-
mence work on the Rosebud Reser-
vation until it has met with the
TECRO Director or his Delegate
and developed an acceptable plan
for meeting its obligations under
Ordinance 86-03.
The employment preference Com-
pliance Plan shall show the number
of man hours by craft and skill cat-
egory needed on the project. The
employer shall also identify those
persons it wishes to have approved
as key, regular, permanent employ-
ees and shall provide all data need-
ed by TECRO to verify the status
of those employees. All key non-
permanent or non-permanent posi-
tions shall be filed in accordance
with the preference priority set
forth in Ordinance 86-03, unless
TECRO determines that there are
no qualified preferred employees
available for that position, or unless
an exception is granted. The plan
shall also describe how the employ-
er will participate in the Tribe’s
training programs.
Also, all contracted entities en-
gaged in any aspect of business ac-
tivity on the Rosebud Reservation
shall submit reports and such other
information as requested by
TECRO staff, who shall have the
right to make on-site inspections
during regular working hours, in
order to monitor an entity’s compli-
ance with these regulations.
TECRO staff shall have the right to
inspect and copy all relevant rec-
ords of an entity, on the job site,
and to engage in similar investiga-
tory activities. All information col-
lected by TECRO staff shall be
kept confidential, unless disclosure
is required during a hearing or ap-
peal as provided by Ordinance 86-
03.
If you have questions, please call
Dwight D. Spotted Tail, TECRO
Director at (605) 747-2322.
TECRO is located in Rosebud, SD,
just west of the All Stop Conven-
ience Store and is open for business
8am-5pm, Monday through Friday.

Powwow season is in full swing. Did you
know that one of the most popular tradi-
tional dances was inspired by a dream giv-
en to the Ojibwe people during a global
health crisis?
One hundred years ago in 1918-1919 when
the global influenza pandemic killed mil-
lions worldwide, including thousands of
Native Americans, a revolutionary new
tradition of healing emerged in Ojibwe
communities in North America: the jingle
dress dance. Oral histories vary on where
exactly the jingle dress first appeared, but
the Mille Lacs community in Minnesota
was a center of activity.
Ojibwe scholar Professor Brenda J. Child
of the University of Minnesota recounts
the origin story of the jingle dress dance
and the significance of the dance as a pow-
erful healing tradition and act of anti-
colonialist resistance and female empow-
erment in her award-winning book, My
Grandfather's Knocking Sticks: Ojibwe
Family Life and Labor on the Reservation
(MNHS Press). She is available for inter-
views about the history of the jingle dress
dance.
In the book she recounts:
"An Ojibwe girl became very sick. She
appeared to be near death. Her father, fear-
ing the worst, sought a vision to save her
life, and this was how he learned of a
unique dress and dance. . . After her recov-
ery, she continued to dance in the special
dress, and eventually she formed the first
Jingle Dress Dance Society."
Child notes that the story suggests an in-
fluenza-like illness, making is possible that
the first jingle dress dancer suffered from
the widespread epidemic of Spanish flu
during the World War I era. She writes:
"Although a man conceived the Jingle
Dress Dance after receiving a vision,
women were responsible for its prolifera-
tion …Once the influenza epidemic struck,
women applied the ceremony like a salve
to fresh wounds. They designed jingle
dresses, organized sodalities, and danced
at tribal gatherings large and intimate,
spreading a new tradition while participat-
ing in innovative rituals of healing. Special
healing songs are associated with the jin-
gle dress, and both songs and dresses pos-
sess a strong therapeutic value. Women
who participate in the Jingle Dress Dance
and wear these special dresses do so to
ensure the health and well-being of an
individual, a family, or even the broader
tribal community."
Her book also highlights the design and
construction of the jingle dress and how
the dance has spread throughout and be-
yond Ojibwe Country. Today jingle dress
is a popular dance form on the competitive
powwow circuit and is performed by Na-
tive women with a variety of tribal affilia-
tions.
Child also recently curated an exhibit on
the history of the jingle dress to mark its
100th anniversary at the Mille Lacs Indian
Museum and Trading Post in Onamia.
Featuring jingle dresses from a variety of
eras, the exhibit “Ziibaaska’ iganagooday:
The Jingle Dress at 100” will be on display
through Oct. 31, 2020.
Brenda J. Child (Red Lake Ojibwe) is
Northrop professor of American studies
and American Indian studies at the Univer-
sity of Minnesota. She is the author of the
critically acclaimed children's picture
book, Bowwow Powwow illustrated by
Ojibwe artist, Jonathan Thunder which
features a jingle dress dancer. She has
been featured in Indian Country Today,
Native America Calling, Minnesota Public
Radio, and has lectured at the National

At REDCO, we believe in making
the world a better place by enhanc-
ing peoples’ lives. We do this by
developing amazing leaders who
run great organizations. Two part-
ner organizations recently invested
in the future by awarding REDCO
resources to help build our commu-
nity development capacity.
We are thrilled to welcome an En-
terprise Rose Architectural Fellow
to REDCO for a two-year fellow-
ship beginning October 2019. RED-
CO was selected from a pool of
leading community development
organizations committed to making
a positive change in their communi-
ties. Fellows utilize innovative de-
velopment and design to address
issues of equity, opportunity, and
sustainability in the areas they
serve. The Enterprise Rose Archi-
tectural Fellowship, an initiative of
Enterprise Community Partners
Inc., matches early-career architec-
tural designers with local communi-
ty development organizations,
where they facilitate an inclusive
approach to development to create
green, sustainable, and affordable
communities. When complete,
Keya Wakpala Waíçageyapi will be
a safe place for all Lakota people
and their neighbors who seek a
unique community encouraging
health, education, and helpfulness
while renewing a culturally mean-
ingful way of life. In addition to
establishing homes and businesses,
Keya Wakpala promotes traditional
culture and language.
Additionally, REDCO’s Sicangu
Food Sovereignty Initiative (SFSI)
was recently awarded a $39,600
grant from the First Nations Devel-
opment Institute to support their
work in bringing about a healthy,
locally based food system on the
Rosebud Reservation. Select local
entrepreneurs will have their own
designated space in the Keya Wak-
pala Garden and will be able to sell
produce at the Keya Wakpala Farm-
ers’ Market this summer. The SFSI
team will serve as mentors through-
out the season, providing technical
assistance and other support. The
SFSI hopes this pilot program will
demonstrate that farming and ranch-
ing are viable jobs for the Sicangu
Lakota.
One of our core values is teamwork
and REDCO remains dedicated to
working together effectively in the
pursuit of excellent. In living our
values, we help create a sustainable
Lakota economy. We are honored
to do the work we do and look for-
ward to the future. Stay up to date
on all future REDCO events by fol-
lowing REDCO on Facebook

June 21 is designated as National
Indigenous Peoples Day in Cana-
da. Recently, a historically im-
portant restoration occurred with
the gravestone of Tasinaskawin,
the wife of Chief Black Bull.
Five generations of the family trav-
eled to Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan,
Canada to show their respects to
Tasinaskawin, and perform a tradi-
tional ceremony dedicating the re-
stored headstone. The descendants
of Black Bull and other members
June—July 2019
of the Lakota Nation; including
Elder Lillian Black Bull, the
Granddaughter of Tasinaskawin
and Chief Black Bull, attended the
ceremony.
"It's really comforting, that people
actually care, you know, and then
wanted to come and partake in this,
so it's really comforting that it was-
n't just us that were up here," stated
Sunrise Black Bull, the great great
great granddaughter of Black Bull.
The gravestone had been recently
restored, spearheaded by Ron Pa-
pandrea, a Historical Author with
connection to the Lakota People
and their history. As a gift for as-
sisting in the restoration, Ron re-
ceived a traditional Star Blanket of
the Lakota People.
"Well I'm honoured, you know, I'm
going to donate it (the star blanket)
to the Moose Jaw Museum, hope-
fully, they will have in their ar-
chive something about what hap-
pened here, and how important it is
Volume 12—Issue 4—Page 21
to the history of the Lakota," Ron
said.
The traditional ceremony included
smudging and wasna, a type of
Lakota Pemmican, which took
place in the Moose Jaw City Cem-
etery, where Tasinaskawin's head-
stone is located. To see more pho-
