Hello my friends – Hau  

How is it going? I've been away went home to Pueblo to visit my sister and do some spiritual work out there.  

I've written you several time. I know you are real busy just know if i can help we are here.  

I hear you will hold Redman jazz April 15 – can we come? Love to support in any way -  

When? Where is it? Some of us here would like to take part – there's a Mohawk - a Cheyenne - a Cherokee - a Kiowa – up here -  

Also there is a powwow at Howe high school Emerson Ave and Washington ST – Indianapolis April 23 – Now it's typical of local powwows but it has a drum – maybe some one of you would like to speak there?  

My phone is 317-522-3535 I'm out a lot speaking to raise support for the people  

 Keep trying :) 

I'm getting a semi load ready to leave for Pine Ridge / Hot Springs S.D. I take 5-6 loads a year to various reservations so I'm a "little" busy right now - not too busy though to support desecration issue.  

We have got mix information about Dennis / Kamook can you give us a straight bit??? We all honor and support them always.  

In solidarity  

Oowah Nah Chasing Bear
