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 spiritual leaders and youth from every where in Indian Country. The Canadian Ojibwa Grand Chief “Francis Cavanaugh”, as well as other Ojibwa Bands, Clan mothers, “Orin Lyons” of the Onondagas, tribal 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.
