Sacred Fire for Sundancer Lawrence Irving who started his journey to the Spirit World Friday.
 
Lawrence ran our sweats. Lawrence pass on Aug 13. He will be dearly missed.
 
Lon and Joy lite the fire last night. Fire will be lite for 3 more days and nights. Joseph has been there since 11:00pm last night.
 
Tommy came from Bemidji this morning to help. He will be fire keeper with others for the next 3 days and nights.
Fire keepers need wood, food, bug spray, sage and tobacco.
This is Mendota way to help his family.
 
Waiting to hear what his family wants to do.
 
Respectfully, Auntie Sharon and the Mendota Community.
