Dear Friends of the Buffalo,
Buffalo
Field Campaign is honored to share this organizer's
announcement with you of a Releasing of the Buffalo
Spirits Ceremony to be held in Gardiner, Montana on
Tuesday, April 15, beginning at 12:00 noon (MST). The
ceremony will be led by Arvol Looking Horse, 19th Generation
Keeper of the White Buffalo Calf Pipe. Buffalo Field
Campaign would like to thank Rosalie Little Thunder
for making a request for Arvol's presence, and we extend
our gratitude to Arvol and his family for making arrangements
to travel to Yellowstone on such short notice. We are
honored by your presence and help. After
the ceremony, a community meal will be served at the
Gardiner Community Center on 206 Main Street.
Below is an outline of needs and support needed to make
this event happen in an honorable and respectable way.
I am going to send this to a wider audience today to
groups and people in the region.
Thank you for your help in honoring wild buffalo.
