Directly to Standing Rock

Hi, I'm Tom Harjo (Creek/Seminole/Shawnee/Quapaw/Cherokee) from Albuquerque, NM. I'm returning to Oceti Sakowin Camp at #StandingRock on November 9th.

During my last visit to Standing Rock in September I noticed there were expenses that arose suddenly. The Camp school was just starting to take shape, the Medics were running low on basic supplies and everyone was worried about having enough firewood for the winter.Today, there are many funds set up to help the various organizations at Standing Rock. You don't have to donate to me. But I want to provide a boots-on-the -ground approach to allocating your donation. During this trip, if I see a need at Camp I want to be able to help.

 At this time Oceti Sakowin Camp is the 5th largest city in North Dakota.  And like any city the Camp's infrustructure needs maintanence and improvement. Your donation will go toward the greatest need. And as donations reach the goal, your individual donation will have even greater impact.A small portion of the overall goal will be used to defray my travel expenses, gas, meals and motel. I don't want to be a burden on the existing Camp resources so I will also use a part of the donations to buy food. The remainder will go toward the immediate needs of the Camp and the Protectors.

Standing Rock, the Water Protectors and those who are there in Solidarity hold a special place in my heart. The Unity, Love and Understanding I felt in Camp was something I had never before experienced. The power of the People and their determination deserve our respect, admiration and support.I thank you for for reading this far and I am supremely grateful if you've decided to donate. I promise to do regular updates on how your funds are being spent.

#StandingRock and #NoDAPL are not just about Standing Rock and Native People. Water is Life. Clean water should be the right of every person on this planet.

You can't drink oil.
