Raising Hoop Together

Hello FireKeepers Tribe,

We’re excited to welcome you to the upcoming FireKeepers International Work Days (May 3–5),

Also a personal, spiritual gathering hosted by the RiverWinds on FireKeepers camping land. (May 1–2).

We have been granted additional time to assemble a work crew for the moving of the high tunnel greenhouse! If you don't think you can help with the heavy lifting, there are many other projects FireKeepers needs help with that don't require hard labor, like cleanup, runners, clearing a room for a recording studio, etc.

Whether you come for the work, the connection, or both—we’re grateful.

We are building something meaningful together, and your presence matters. Because of the nature of the work and rural safety limitations, this is not the time to bring children, but that time will come in the future. Teenagers who are willing to serve and learn, however, are more than welcome!

Wish you could come, but can't? We really desire that this time be done in a traditional native way, where we come together as a community, and we feed those who have come to serve. You can still help by contributing to other expenses, such as heavy equipment rental, fuel costs, feeding the volunteers, and purchasing the solar equipment needed to make this hoop house off-grid (we already have 420kw panels).

With appreciation,

Chief Joseph & Dr. Laralyn RiverWind
