<div>Our prayers for Standing Rock can take many forms,

<div>Those of you on Facebook may have seen that the 2nd
Generation of OE younger adults ( once EG), are being
represented at Standing Rock. They have raised money
to get Shelia Johnson (daughter of Byrne Johnson) on
site with some equipment to assist with the midwife
and medical team as a cook and support person.
However, with the situation moving into colder
weather they are aware that more substantial equipment
is needed. They are working on purchasing an
insulated bus that will serve as a dorm for the
midwives and medics and as a kitchen. Nina Crow Rhys
(Stan’s daughter) has requested support from us lst
Generation OE Elders as they work to Stand with
Standing Rock in this attempt to protect the water and
sacred grounds. She is also headed to Standing Rock
where her experience as a doula will be a gift to the
midwife team.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>North Dakota based Alex St. Clair (son of Bob and
Kate) will also be there and is assisting as Shelia’s
support staff. Attached is a more complete
proposal from Alex. Alex has given me permission
to share his e-mail if you have any questions that he
might answer. <a href="mailto:alex.saint.c@gmail.com" target="_blank">alex.saint.c@gmail.com</a>

<div> Many years ago, our EG were with us as we embarked upon
our mission to make a difference. Let’s support them in this
endeavor of being a presence that they are making on behalf of
many of us. If you have already sent a contribution, many
thanks. If you haven’t gotten around to it yet, there is great
need to move on this quickly so the bus can be outfitted for the
cause. If you know of others who aren’t on these lists or of
others who might respond to this call, please pass this on. </div>

<div> We are so grateful for the presence that Diane Greenwald and
Salvatore Caruso have been at Standing Rock during the fall and
now for the support they are bringing to Native families who
are wintering there with their children. We are grateful for
Ellie and Carlton Stock's presence there as well with other
representatives from the Presbyterian Church USA. </div>
