Acupuncture at Standing Rock
Donation protected
GAHP is setting up a treatment site at Standing Rock Reservation in support of the indigenous resistance to the Dakota Access Pipeline. This movement has grown to become an historic moment in our nation. We are being called to hear our Native sisters and brothers to protect our environment for future generations.
We plan to create a clinic that can provide acupuncture, herbs and healing massage to the people who are on the frontlines of this action. There are over 2,500 people from tribes all over the nation camping by the banks of the Missouri River who know that "Water is Life".
Your funds will help us purchase Chinese herbs and acupuncture supplies, food and first aid supplies, which we will use to treat colds, lung irritations, campfire burns, stomach upset, injuries and other health issues that come from living in a tent day in and day out. All practitioners on site will be volunteering their services. We hope to have a clinic with rotating practitioners from September 9-19, and maybe longer if needed.
You can also donate supplies directly to the camp. For more information on how to support this movement, check out nodaplsoliedarity.org. Read updates below for needed supplies and where to send them.
We are also looking for donations of frequent flyer miles on United, Delta or American to help our volunteers get to North Dakota.
This project has come together only over the last couple days. Anything you can offer will be hugely appreciated! Any funds not spent will be donated directly to the camps. For a good description of what is happening at Standing Rock, read this blog by Matika Wilbur.
GAHP is an all-volunteer organization dedicated to providing free high quality Chinese medicine to communities in need. We have worked with Navajo Nation, with immigrant populations in the North West, and internationally in Nepal, Indonesia and Vietnam.
