🎤 Thank you to Sisoka Luta -Jerome Kills Small- for leading the way and, with the help of Earl Bullhead and Bobby Johnson, ensuring Saturday’s traditional wacipi ran smoothly. They sure made it happen! It was also good to see and hear the Oyate singers! Leksi Jerome would like to thank “Chub White Mouse for blessing the elders and leading the entire circle of people; the Community for bringing food—Plenty for everyone! Special thanks to USD Native American Cultural Center students for cleaning; Gail Bickel for staying late to make the kitchen s**c & span clean; Vermillion Parks and Recreation and the Armory staff; and all Contributors...It was an awesome gathering.” Glad we could come together. Pilamayaye Oyate—Wase’ Wakpa, travelers, dancers, singers, cooks, vendors, families, friends—Let’s do it again! 👏🏼🤲🏽🤝
