Addendum and Update
About Donations: (11/23/16) Want to help from home? The camp is currently almost overwhelmed with material donations, which are piling up without enough space to store them, as winter approaches. Our suggestion is: Instead of food, clothing, etc., Donate money (see list of organizations in need, below) and/or FOCUS ON CONTACTING OBAMA & THE ARMY CORPS of ENGINEERS & your CONGRESSIONAL REPRESENTATIVES (see the UPDATES page of this site for phone numbers).

There is a huge amount of donated warm clothing here, if you come and need extra layers!
And, take a peek at just ONE OF MANY supply tents jam-packed with amazing amounts of food and other supplies:
As you can see, this large tent has an approximately 7′ tall by 10′ wide and 6′ deep mountain of bags of donated bulk beans, flours, and grains… If a snow storm came, it would be seriously at-risk… We need more permanent-type sheds for storage of supplies and for activists to stay warm.
There is also a great need for firewood for winter. We decided to change our plan and refrain from transporting firewood from California, because of biological concerns over accidentally spreading pests and pathogens into other forests. We have seen the devastation of various beetle and diseases, so we felt the risk of transporting harmful vectors was not worth it. Sending money for camp organizers to purchase firewood locally seems to be a safer and more efficient way to do it. Here is a picture of the main firewood pile, mostly reserved for the central Sacred Fire:
One of the main activities here now is preparing for winter. That involves constructing actual wood frame small buildings, as camping in tents and tipis becomes increasingly difficult, especially for elders. If you can send lumber and fasteners and tools and other building materials (along with a few dozen carpenters), that seems to be the most valuable supplies here now, whereas clothing, food, and medicine are less in need.

Words of an Inspired Activist:
“Standing Rock is the most important thing happening right now, and it really makes sense for me to put down other priorities and go to North Dakota to help fellow water protectors do this.”
Inspiration to Go Beyond:
Standing Rock is a place and an action and a movement. Standing Rock represents creating the change we want to see in the world, and working towards all the most important things in life:
•Protection of the environment
•Protection of the people
•Honoring spirit and ancestors
•Preservation of human rights and social justice
•Reconciliation for Colonization/Genocide
•Scientific research, analysis, & decision-making
•Climate Change reduction
•Community and alliance-building
•Love and compassion
The basic need of people to thrive and to protect the gifts that Mother Earth so generously offers us is our guiding power.
Protecting communities and sacred lands is crucial to create a healthy and just world.
