The Fence is Up at Four Eagles Farm
Six volunteers arrived at Devon’s buffalo farm to help strengthen beams and posts, and set a new fence that will keep the sheep from entering the buffalo area. The weather was cloudy at first, but brightened up and ended up a beautiful day. New photos are posted – click on the images tab. (They appear backwards, from last to first.)
Four Eagles Farm Calls for Help
This Wednesday, 1/27/10, at 10 am, we will be joining our friend Devon in serving the needs of a small herd of buffalo by building a fence on his farm in Montague, CA. The main goal is to get the fence up that will be able to separate the sheep from the buffalo and keep both herd and flock strong. The sheep are sharing an illness that the buffalo have little to no resistance to but the sheep can easily weather. When a buffalo gets this, it is untreatable and 90% die ...and die quickly.
Work party for Four Eagles Farm
I make this plea in a prayer for the buffalo nation and thereby, for all nations.
Devon, of Four Eagles Farm, is still hobbling around on crutches due to a knee infection. He is happy that there will be relatives willing to help him in his current situation. He has turned to antibiotics to supplement Amy's good care and he hopes to have a good measure of recovery soon. But Wednesday, may be too soon to expect full "knee-participation". All help that keeps that knee protected is highly valued.
R.E.D. Business Meeting
Back to biz! We've taken a month off from meetings and we're back to plan our next season's event--Native Games! If you'd like to step in and help, or learn more about who we are and what we do in our community, please feel free to attend a meeting.
February Social
R.E.D. will host our next Social Saturday, February 6 @ 5 p.m. back in the "old Social place" (Community Room in the SOU Student Family Housing Complex). We haven't held our monthly Socials for the past season due to out-of-town commitments on those first Saturdays of the month, so we look forward to coming together in our local community once again in that traditional, simple way--for songs, feast and good words with the People.
