Hi Everyone
Here in the UK we are experiencing our worst winter for 20 years,
and this is a huge wake up call for most people. We have been
battered with an icy blast coming from Siberia, so I cannot imagine
what the weather must be like there!
I am 56 years old now, and well remember the severe winters in the
50’s and 60’s, whilst I was growing up in the East Midlands. They
were COLD!!!!!! Snow would come thick and fast and stay for weeks on
end. The canals near where I grew up, froze solid so you could walk
on them, and seeing as I grew up in a house with one coal fire in
the front room, and an outside toilet, somehow survived those
winters (bearing in mind I am a total wimp when it comes to the
cold).
Imagine how that must feel out on the reservation , totally isolated
, no fuel for heating, or running dangerously low, and no way of
getting to the nearest town to buy food etc.
South Dakota has also had a rough winter this year and the hardships
endure, so I once again appeal to you good people to look over my
Elders list and think about helping an Elder in whatever way you
can.

I thank all the people that have helped with this project, and know
that these Elders are so grateful for any help that is given, and
that they do love receiving letters from the outside world also.
I am also happy to announce that my second book is now ready and
called “Sitting Bull. Last Great Chieftain”, and has the cover and
1st page on the website for you to look over.

I have had good feedback from my first book on “Little Hawk”, so
that is really great, and I hope that my book on “Sitting Bull” will
have the same favourable feedback also.
Also my heart goes out to the people In Australia that have been
caught up in the terrible bush fire, that has killed so many people,
animals and destroyed towns. As I write this, it is pouring down
with rain here in Devon where I now live, and I wish this rain could
be directed to Australia to help put out the fires! If only life was
that simple!
I am aiming to go back to Pine Ridge in Oct of this year, in time
for the Black Hills Pow Wow held in Rapid City, South Dakota. I am
hoping to get more research done whilst over, so I will keep you
posted as to my future plans.
Take care and watch this space!!
