I'm proud of my MMDC relatives and those that supported the efforts at Coldwater. Having visited there and offering prayers on several occasions with various tribal members, it's rewarding to see the ongoing efforts to restore this makoche wakan for the Oyate. We couldn't be there in person, but we sent out prayers daily! Mitakuye, Wopida echichiyapedo! Ohan, washteya echanupedo!

I generally spent the day and went home at night. I was nervous at first not knowing much about Dakota Culture and History. I was at first only going to spend a few hours. But after meeting the Native and Non-Native people I felt more comfortable and I ended coming back everyday through Saturday. I want to thank everybody at Coldwater. I learned a lot and I appreciated the hospitality. These fours days I will always treasure. I felt more at peace there with everyone than I do in my own neighborhood. I plan to stay in touch and become more involved. Thanks Todd Heintz I want thank thank everyone through out the four days. I generally spent the day and went home at night.
