Sitting Bull College

The four communities of the Red Lake Nation met on Jan 18 to coordinate their community visions into a collaborative front as a tribal effort where that might be appropriate.  All four communities (Red Lake, Redby, Little Rock and Ponemah) have completed individual community visions and are combining where they can to see where those efforts can create synergy and collaboration from a Tribal perspective.  The celebration includes sharing of the community visions, a concert for those attending by the local band “Indian Country” and a community feast.  Check out the photos from the Red Lake Nation News.  Local law enforcement showed their support and set up a display that allowed participants to wear goggles that simulated a 2.0 blood alcohol content.  The HORIZONS leaders shared results from LeadershipPlenty action sandwich activities about the Nation as a whole.  Nice job David Isham (coach) and the folks from the Red Lake Nation.

Community members from the communities of White River, Parmalee, Mission/Antelope, and Pejuta HaKa (Kyle) attended blog training in Martin on December 7th.  The community members braved heavy snowfall and slippery roads to travel to the Oglala Lakota College – Lacreek college center in Martin to learn to tell their community stories.  Thanks to Griff Wigley for the great training.  Hats off to Community coaches Daphne Richards-Cook and Avery Thompson for getting the word out.  A final THANK YOU to Deborah His Horse is Thunder for coordinating the whole event.

Griff Wigley and the traveling Sitting Bull College Blog Training crew are presenting blog training for the communities of Marty, Greenwood, and White Swan.  Despite the horrible weather, communities braved the elements and heeded the threats of their community coach Avery Thompson to learn to tell the world their community’s story.  Thanks again to Deborah His Horse is Thunder for organizing the event.  WAY TO GO!!!
