Elder/Youth Conference Reflections, 2013
We'd like to thank the many people and organizations who helped host last week's 8th Annual Elder/Youth Conference. It was a tremendous success, on all fronts, and as we pack up the camp and reflect on all the teachings and relations made throughout the week, we are reminded how truly blessed our community is to have this opportunity to learn from one another, and especially from our elders.

Warmth Project Boxes up Goods to Send Off to Reservations
Thank you to our great community support for the Sweetwater Education Foundation's annual Warmth Project. Many folks got together the day after Thanksgiving (we called it "RED Friday," officially boycotting "Black Friday!") to box up piles and piles of amazing warm clothing items, jackets, shoes and blankets to send to Pine Ridge, Rosebud and Cheyenne River Reservations in South Dakota.
