The Native American Music Association is sending 1,440 small toy items
to the president of Sicangu Oyate (Rosebud Sioux Tribe) for his Christmas
Toy Drive for the 7,500 children ages 1 thru 18 on their reservation.
This now brings the current tally of toys raised to 4,600 and leaves
approximately 2,900 toys needed (just 290 people sending 10 items
each would do it!).
Keep spreading the word. No gift is too small
for the children.

Temperatures in South Dakota reached a below-35
degree windchill. Some areas reported below 60 degrees. NAMA's Emergency
Winter Relief Efforts remain underway on the Pine Ridge Reservation,
particularly for the elders, disabled, and small children. This
week NAMA purchased emergency heat/electric for four households,
one of which a grandmother taking care of 5 children almost died
in the sub-zero weather.
At
present, 156 households are in need of emergency heat and have no
access to funds. Severe weather conditions are being predicted ahead.
Donations are needed.
