Community Event

Come practice or learn Shinny, a Native stickball game similar to lacrosse. We are preparing for our next event--the Native Games Tournament, March 20, 2010. Weekly practices Sunday afternoons in the Park.

R.E.D. will host our next Social Saturday, February 6 @ 5 p.m. back in the "old Social place" (Community Room in the SOU Student Family Housing Complex). We haven't held our monthly Socials for the past season due to out-of-town commitments on those first Saturdays of the month, so we look forward to coming together in our local community once again in that traditional, simple way--for songs, feast and good words with the People.

Also included in the day is a 10 a.m. Women's Community Meeting (if you plan to attend the Women's Meeting, PLEASE plan to arrive by 9:45 a.m.
