Four Eagles Farm Calls for Help

This Wednesday, 1/27/10, at 10 am, we will be joining our friend Devon in serving the needs of a small herd of buffalo by building a fence on his farm in Montague, CA. The main goal is to get the fence up that will be able to separate the sheep from the buffalo and keep both herd and flock strong. The sheep are sharing an illness that the buffalo have little to no resistance to but the sheep can easily weather. When a buffalo gets this, it is untreatable and 90% die ...and die quickly.

I make this plea in a prayer for the buffalo nation and thereby, for all nations.

Devon, of Four Eagles Farm, is still hobbling around on crutches due to a knee infection. He is happy that there will be relatives willing to help him in his current situation. He has turned to antibiotics to supplement Amy's good care and he hopes to have a good measure of recovery soon. But Wednesday, may be too soon to expect full "knee-participation". All help that keeps that knee protected is highly valued.

Native American Student Union (NASU) of SOU

Details
Description: 

R.E.D. collaborates on an ongoing basis with the Native American Student Union (NASU) at Southern Oregon University in Ashland, Oregon. NASU hosts a "Welcome Back" Tribal Gathering and Pow Wow the week before Thanksgiving each year, in which R.E.D. has participated the last few years. This year R.E.D. hosted a Giveaway to local Tribes, Elders and Community leaders who reach out in the community to share traditions, teachings, stories and skills. We gifted members of the Klamath, Karuk, Hupa, Yurok, Warm Springs, Siletz and Takelma Peoples. We also gifted members of the SOU Native community, honoring Professors David West and Brent Florendo, along with Brent's student Drum. Our Giveaway theme included preserved food from our R.E.D. Community Garden Harvest.

R.E.D. collaborates also with Unete, who hosted the second annual "Corn Festival" at this year's NASU Tribal Gathering, honoring South American corn traditions and the importance of corn as a sacred food. R.E.D. and Unete form a non-profit entity, "Natives of One Wind Indigenous Alliance."

Other joint activities with NASU include the Stickball Games (Shinny) hosted most Sundays at 1 p.m. in Lithia Park, as well as helping to support the Annual Spring Pow Wow in April of each year.

American Indian Dogs

The American Indian Dog:

Learn about the Plains Indian Dog of legend; the descendants of our ancestor’s dogs, selectively bred according to the ways of the "Old Ones".

These dogs were kept for hunting, herding, pulling travois or sled, and even for babysitting. These dogs are still bred for temperament, and display the intelligence and characteristics that made them invaluable our ancestors.

We are available for teaching seminars and possible trades to enable you to have one of these rare AI Dogs as a member of your family.

ABOUT HOPA MOUNTAIN
The possibilities for economic, environmental, and social health in the Northern Rocky Mountains and Great Plains lie in the strength of the people, especially our relationships with each other and with the land we love. In every community, there are not only good ideas, but community leaders who get things done and to whom others turn for help. There is now a renewed recognition of the importance of these special people, particularly in rural and tribal communities that have a dearth of opportunities to provide and sustain healthy communities.

Community leaders know their community's people, values, beliefs, language, and ethnic characteristics. Given adequate resources, they can provide more meaningful services more efficiently and effectively than outside professionals can. Hopa Mountain recognizes the critical role community leaders play in their communities and we dream of what they could accomplish if they had access to adequate resources. Simply put, community leaders are the focus of Hopa Mountain's work.

Acknowledging the skills, talents, and positions within communities of these natural leaders, Hopa Mountain endeavors to provide them with the means–primarily through training, networking, mentoring, and financial support–to generate and expand much-needed opportunities in their communities
