Cesar Chavez Day Event
Unete is a volunteer-led movement of farmworkers and immigrants in rural Southern Oregon educating their community and advocating for worker rights, humane immigration policy, and full participation in the decision-making processes affecting their lives. Unete is the only Latino-led non-profit in the Rogue Valley.
Unete welcomes everyone to come celebrate Ceasar Chavez day and learn about the man who served his people and advocated for their rights. Whistling Elk Drum has been invited and we will be here!
R.E.D.'S “Hospitality Ladies”
As the Red Earth Descendants have grown over the years, we have become the recipients of a growing group of Women who we call our “Hospitality Ladies”, our front-line, steady, always-at-each-event/gathering women who run our camp kitchens, cook for our fund-raisers, provide for our meeting “nibbles”, bring wonderful home-cooking and desserts to our socials.
Honoring the Youth
We would very much Like to acknowledge some of our Youth members of R.E.D. As we have been spending more time together over the years, we find we can share things through the generational line that we all enjoy, appreciate, and at times, struggle with and through our judgements and differences(we take a lot of “humor medicine”). Tasker Little Crow, Misha Lake and Zhawen Wahpepah are all becoming good singers and by this week-end, all Dancers. Both Misha and Tasker have been dancers on the Pow Wow trail and Zhawen is coming out this week-end and doing her give-a-way at the Annual SOU Pow Wow.

Whistling Elk visits the OYA/Oregon Youth Authorities
Some of our relations,local Southern Oregon Native peoples, have been working with the OYA for more than sixteen years. Members of the Local Native Veteran's Society, Founders of the Grants Pass Indian Center and the Whistling Elk Drum returned for a visit with the OYA. The Staff over there make us feel right at home when we visit, the way they look after us, and we always feel welcome. The Drum has visited several times now over the years.
