* THIS IS SAVE OUR PARKS EVENT!
SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT !!!!
He' to all our Cultural Brothers and Sisters,
This letter is a call for help. Our village, River of Many Fish of Ashtabula, Ohio, a village
of United Eastern Lenape Nation are planning to sponsor our first Intertribal Powwow in July
of 2008. We need your help. We are requesting drums, vendors and dancers from all nations
to come to Andover, Ohio and represent your Nation in what we hope will be the biggest
non-competition event northeastern Ohio has seen in many years. Please be aware though,
that this first powwow must be on a volunteer basis. We are working with limited funds and
at present unable to pay for your attendance. You will certainly be rewarded by recognition
at this powwow. We will hold blanket dances during the powwow to help offset any
expences you may incur, but that is all we can do at the present time. If we can have a
good representation of support at this powwow, then we will be able to make this an annual
event. We all have to start somewhere and this is our chance to make lasting bonds with
our brother nations. If you could possibly join us on July 17-20th, please contact me for
more information. We know we are asking alot from you, but Creator has let us know the
time is right for bonding and friendship building amongst all nations. If you know of other
people who would like to join us as well, please have them contact me at this email
address. I must know if you will plan to join us no later than March 1st, 2008, earlier if
possible. We will be sending information out to vendors in February. We would like to
include you and your tribe in that mailing. May Creator guide your decision on this matter.
Until we meet in person, Wanishi

Gathering on your sacred grounds at Bear River. The Tribal Council of the

GATHERING.
This gathering will consist of Mayan, Seminole, Navaho, Pueblo, Sioux,
Onondagas, Ho-chunk, Alaskan, and just about every Nation will be
present from Islands and across borders. Nation’s will be sending their

people from British Columbia and many, many more Nations
representative will be coming here to speak and visit our beautiful people
and lands and share in our Ojibwa culture as well as share their own.
This gathering will have people flying and driving in, about three or four
days prior to, the Sunrise Ceremony on Friday, July 25, 2008. By sunrise
ceremony the Lac du Flambeau Spiritual Leaders and Drum (Heart of this
band) will begin this sacred fire, with the ashes from 31 other sacred fires
consisting of prayers from all over Indian Country. Here is where our
leaders will welcome these Nations to the Sacred Grounds. We will pray
for this gathering to produce strong thoughts and communications with
good hearts and minds connected as one, Nation to Nation. Indigenous
People from all over Indian Country are welcome.
We have 21 tee-pees that will need to be erected, sweat lodges will be
built, and a sacred fire arbor will be built, and our cook shack will need to
be prepared. We will need water at Bear River. Rocks will have to be
gathered, wood chopped, please save some wild rice, walleye, deer meat,
pick wild berries, strawberries, and prepare for our traditional meal. Plan
on making some items for give away for all our helpers and people who
come from across the Oceans and from across the borders. We will need
members to call with available room for the elderly and others who cannot
camp. These elders love to share your hospitality. We may be hosting 250
people or more as this will be the first invite for the peoples of the Great
Lakes. We invite the Potawatomi, Oneida, Menominee, the Algonquin
Nation, and welcome them here.
There will be two refrigerated semi truck trailers of food that will be
delivered, the first on Wednesday, July 23, 2008, and the second,
Saturday, July 26, 2008. Many strong traditional leaders will be available
early to put up tee-pees and erect the arbor, build sweat lodges, and we
will need others to volunteer of the band.
The Youth of this Band will come together to participate with the Youth of
many Nations. They will eventually break off from the Elders and come
back to the circle to bring their messages to the Elders. During the day and
evening the Ojibwa will share their culture with all Nations. Offers from
our Band members have been made to share spearing, songs and dance,
Strawberry Island is important to this band, decoys, kayak and many more
cultural events can be prepared for and planned. Keep in mind other
Nations will be sharing their ceremonies.
We will be having a Tribal Committee Gathering Meeting on February 7,
2008 at the Lac du Flambeau Domestic Abuse Program. This meeting will
begin at 6:00 pm and it is potluck. Those of you that have committed to
help I hope will be present those of you Tribal members who are interested
in helping please come so we may be prepared to welcome and provide a
well coordinated Gathering for 2008. If you have any questions call
