Did anyone else receive a solicitaion in the mail for a school in
Manderson, South Dakota called "The Wounded Knee District School"?
The very nice poignant letter, signed by Hobart Yankton, is a plea to help
this school.
The problem I have with this soliciation is that if my donation is for $30
or more, they will send me an authentic Lakota Sioux dream catcher made on
the reservation. They enclosed a copy of the old ("Long ago when the world
was very young...") Lakota Sioux legend of the dream catcher. (At least the
literature doesn't claim my bad dreams will _really_ go away.)
Does this sound "phony" to anyone else in this echo?
I have no doubt a school on a rez in South Dakota needs help (particualrly
when school officals _allegedly_ abscond with $2.6 million) but "selling"
dream catchers????
