One good way to work is learning a song, the drum song we were introduced too during one of the meetings.
What are the words to that song again?

Oceti Sakowin Omniciye April 11-13, 2008
Apr 4th, 2008 Posted in CLASSES, EVENTS & POW WOW | no comment »Oceti Sakowin Omniciye
April 11-13, 2008
(CALENDAR)
It is time, once again, for the Oceti Sakowin Omniciye – the Seven Council Fires Summit Friday, April 11 through Sunday April 13, 2008 at Maka Cokaya – the Center of the Earth. (Bdote – Mendota MN)
At this meeting we will continue the process of addressing the Colonial Celebration of the state of Minnesota’s Sesquicentennial. There was such a great turn out at our January meeting and there were so many good ideas and suggestions that we hope everyone that was there will attend this meeting and that more of you will join us so that we can follow through with what was begun.
Come and help us to firm up plans for the Protest on the Mendota Bridge on May 9th, the Walk Run
and Rally at the State Capitol on May 11th and various other events that are in the works, including the Great Plains/Great Prairie Sacred Sites Run from Crow Creek. And plan new events to carry our message through the year of colonial celebration.
During this time of the 150th Anniversary, the colonial society must be educated on the truth of OUR History! The concentration camp, the hangings, the broken treaties, the stolen land, the forced march and forced removal from our homeland…these are the truths that they must learn, acknowledge and accept. It is up to us, the Dakota Oyate, our Allies and Friends, to make this happen.
There will be an Inipi on Friday and Saturday evenings at the MMDC Center.
Clifford Canku will be Spiritual Advisor. We’re hoping that Phyllis Red Day and Mike Simon will be joining us in that capacity as well.
People will have to come on their own. We, the Mendota Dakota Community and friends, will provide the food.
There is a Marriott Courtyard and a Marriott Fairfield Inn about 5 minutes away from the Mendota Community Center.
The Mendota Mdewakanton Dakota Community is located at:
1324 Sibley Memorial Highway MAP
Mendota MN 55150
