Straw

 Winter has pretty much arrive here on the Land, and we are hard at work getting the few final touches completed before winter sets in to stay.  There is so much work to be done, setting up the new ranch, it sure keeps us busy!  Here we have a load of straw being delivered, so the animals will be nice and warm and dry for the winter.  

Harvest Festival - Day 8

 This is the last day of this year's Great Harvest Festival/Camp-out.  It was a great ceremony this morning, with happy faces and shouts of glory to the Great Manitou.  I think my voice is almost raw.  

Thank-you to all who came.  We had a great time, and look forward to many more people joining us next year!

Death

Death is never an easy subject, but rest assured, there is life after death.  I have visited the spirit world many times, and can say, it is a beautiful vibrant place.  Our ancestors are there actively engaged in life.  They are also actively involved in our lives here, striving to teach us the lessons that will help us as we enter the spirit world.  The passing of a loved one is not the end, but is just another step on our journey.
