BEAR BUTTE PRAYER GATHERING
Prayer for the Protection of Bear Butte
August 1-12, 2007
All are invited to join in prayer for the protection of Bear Butte.
This camp is to pray for the protection of Bear Butte and for Indigenous Nations working to protect the cultural integrity and spiritual sanctity of their Sacred Sites, for U.S. Servicemen and Women, and Nations impacted by armed conflict, starvation and global warming.
Daily Agenda to be announced.
Families are encouraged to take this time to focus on teaching their children and youth their history, culture, language, and spirituality.
The camp will follow protocol and traditional laws. Zero tolerance for alcohol, drugs, weapons, cultural and spiritual exploitation. Audio and videotaping only under controlled conditions. Media will be allowed under controlled conditions and handled by designation. Northern Cheyenne Military Society members will police the camp and work with local law enforcement authorities to keep order and observe the respect for Bear Butte. Camp criers will be utilized, no PA systems.
Please be prepared to be as self sufficient as possible. No open fires.
