R.E.D. Elder/Youth Conference

Friday, 01 June 2007
Greetings, As summer quickly approaches and we prepare for our Elder/Youth Conference, we have a few updates to share with you. First, we'd like to acknowledge our gratitude to the organizers of the Peak Naming Ceremony that took place this past week.? The peak outside east of Ashland, formally known as "Squaw Peak," is now officially Taowhywee Peak, in honor of our Grandma Aggie's family.? Some of us in R.E.D. were able to be present to witness and offer our prayers/blessings for the Naming Ceremony.? As some of you may know, R.E.D. felt apprehensive about our participation in this event some weeks ago and took a position of neutrality until all the local, regional tribes were invited to be present also.? Once these iinvitations were made, we felt we could step up and attend.? It entailed a lot of work and patience--especially on the part of the land stewards and the organizers--but we worked TOGETHER to make it happen and the rewards have been beautiful.? To honor the land and the ancestors was a blessing for all of us.? To those of you who worked with us in this endeavor, we thank you from our hearts.
