RED Event

Greetings R.E.D. Community,

We are happy to announce our spring event:

Spring Benefit for Grandma Aggie and the 13 Indigenous Grandmothers
March 31, 2012
4 - 11 p.m.
Bellview Grange in Ashland
We will be serving dinner and showing the film about the Grandmothers~
"For The Next 7 Generations"
Speakers and Music will follow the film

(All details are on the attached poster)

Please join us for dinner, movie, speakers and music all afternoon and evening to raise funds for the Thirteen Indigenous Grandmothers and their Gathering this coming summer, and to raise consciousness and awareness about local and national indigenous issues. We will serve a fantastic meal, show Grandma Aggie's film featuring the Indigenous Grandmothers and their purpose and work, speak to the community about important things happening in Indian Country, have some music and enjoy gathering as a community. Tickets and entry will be sliding scale.

Join us for a potluck harvest Social--bring what you can out of your gardens, if you have grown one, and enjoy getting together once again after a nice long summer 'break' from the routine. We have enjoyed having the summer to focus on travel, family, growing food and Ceremony, though we have MISSED our community. So please join us for a harvest feast!

Come join us for a garden get-together and biz meeting--last meeting before Elder~Youth Conference to hash out the last details! Thank you for supporting where you can.

Come join us for a 'special occasion' Social, to welcome Lomakatsi and a Klamath Tribe work crew from Chiloquin to our community and share a good meal. Potluck, if you can!

Please join the women's community of R.E.D. for a crafting circle and get-together before the monthly Social.

Please join us for our monthly Social! Bring a potluck dish to share, if you can. We look forward to sharing a meal with you and letting people know what's up in our community.

Exciting news regarding new location and camp structure this year. . .we will be collaborating with Grandma Aggie's Salmon Gathering, hosting the Elder~Youth camp near the river where she has the Salmon Ceremony. Grandma has been asking for a culture camp to precede her Salmon Ceremony, and knowing that we host our Elder~Youth Conference at about the same time each year, we all decided to join camps and put our energies (and prayers!) together to create this logical and natural collaboration.

Four years ago, Grandma Aggie asked Red Earth Descendants to watch over the prayer pole, keep it alive, a place for the People to go and pray. R.E.D. has provided several of our families' sacred eagle feathers to honor this request. In those years, we've repeatedly had feathers stolen from the pole, interrupting the community prayer as well as creating a potential nuisance on City of Ashland property.
