Greetings! 

Pilamaya (thank you) to the nearly 1,200 volunteers who joined us on Pine Ridge last year. Believe it or not, we open tomorrow, February 26, 2011 for our 14th season.

Re-Member is able to continue to do the essential work needed here on the reservation only with your help. Your support - in labor, financial and material resources - continues to help the Oyate of Pine Ridge unlike we have ever been able to do so in the past.

Whether you built a deck with Jerry, a wheelchair ramp with Dave, skirted a trailer with Cory or found yourself on a roof with Bryan during our 2010 season, your efforts helped keep a family warmer and safer in the long winter that our friends on Pine Ridge have endured over the past several months.

2011 promises to bring new challenges, and new opportunities. During our "down time" in the off season, we finalized the purchase of our new property in Porcupine. Fortunately, we have fully funded the purchase, thanks in large part to your generous support of our land campaign. We will begin site work in Porcupine this year. 

Our staff will be led this season by Jerry, Bryan and Matt running construction crews. Several new local staff members, including Yolanda Swalley, wife of cultural presenter Larry Swalley, will be joining us this season as well. 

We look forward to welcoming you back, for our 14th season of building relationships.

So... When ya comin?

Ted Skantze, Director
