Dear Ceremony Companions and Supporters!
Percy White Plume (Grandfather and Ride Overseer) hosted the final planning meeting for the 25th Reunion Ride of the Chief Big Foot Band Memorial Riders yesterday afternoon on the Pine Ridge Reservation in Manderson, SD near Wounded Knee. Along with the great planning, we shared Indian Fry bread, coffee, and delicious Menudo soup! All is coming together in a sacred way!
For all our community of supporters and particularly for those who are hosting Ceremony with us across the United States and around the world, here is our plan for communication and support:
- Another major email this coming Thursday or Friday, Dec. 17 or 18th.
- Another email update on December 22nd, when the Riders/Walkers/Runners are gathering at Bridger.
- A last email update late on December 28th after the final planning session for Ceremony at Wounded Knee on December 29th.
- We plan on posting videos and photos on Facebook and our Website during the ride.
- A Shift Network Ceremony hosted by Devaa Haley Mitchell will be broadcasting a global wide Maestro Conference Call for those who choose to participate in this way. Details about this will follow later this week. Her husband, Stephen Dinan (CEO of The Shift Network) will be attending the live Ceremony at Wounded Knee.
- Grandmother Flordemayo and 3 sisters from her network will be attending the Ceremony to lend their prayers and support.
