 cultural gathering, a mini pow wow and blanket drive benefitting the Pine 
 Ridge Indian Reservation in South Dakota.  We are seeking new, warm, 
 washable blankets, and monetary donations to ship them to the White Plume 
 family in Manderson, South Dakota, who will in turn distribute them to 
 rural families.\n\nA community powwow includes Native American singing, 
 dancing, drumming, traditional music forms, and arts and crafts.  Visitors 
 are welcome to this event whether or not they are able to contribute.  
 \n\nAll powwow drums and all dancers are welcome. Flutists, hoop dancers, 
 bird singers, storytellers…everyone is welcome.  Redbird's host drum for 
 many years has been Blue Star, and we hope they will be joining us again 
 this year.  This year we will also be joined by the Redrum drum.\n\nWeather 
 permitting, the gathering will take place outside on the southwest lawn of 
 the library.  In the event of rain or high winds, we will be in the 
 Community Room.\n\nThis effort is funded entirely by donations.  If you are 
 unable to attend but wish to contribute, please donate online, or via US 
 Mail.  We will begin packing blankets for shipment on Sunday, December 8 
 and begin shipping on Monday, December 9.  We do not have a drop-off 
 location for after-event blanket donations.  If you have questions please 
 contact us at redbirds_vision@hotmail.com\n\nAll online donations made 
 through 12.31.24 will benefit the blanket drive.  You may choose any 
 donation option on our website; your donation will be directed to the 
 blanket drive. \n https://www.indybay.org/newsitems/2024/11/14/18870751.php
