Here is a new line I have crafted - the Deerskin Dreamcatcher Necklace - The ring is 1 1/2" wrapped in deerskin with a spirit bead in the center - I have added crow beads to the necklace in a way to make it adjustable from 15" to about 30" in length.  The second set is finished now too with buffalo, crow, red tail hawk, alligator, turtle,  and white buffalo.  You can find this set listed in my online store:

St Joseph's Indian School

We had a very nice Lunch and Information session/meeting with the St Joseph's Indian School.  It was very nice to meet Fr Steve and Denise in person and hear their words about the school.  Fr. Steve said a wonderful opening prayer before the meal in a rather Traditional way.  At the end of the session he also did the Four Directions Parayer to close.  The school values traditional ways of the Lakota and strives for Body, Mind, Heart, and Spirit Teachings and help for children from the surrounding Reservations who are in need of it.  The children live in an apartment type housing with two house parents and a handful of other students, helping to develop their social skills and homelife responsibilities.  I am very happy with my contributions to this organization and will continue to give and support the St Joseph's Indian School. 

If you would like to learn more and possibly give of yourself to them, please visity the website at:

We are going to a Luncheon with the staff from the St Joseph's Indian School from Chamberlain, SD today.  I have been donating to them for a short while now and the donations total $100.00 thus far.  The medicine wheel pictured above sold for $10 and the entire price went to the school, along with some of my other items that had sold.  They will be showing us a film and discussing upcoming events at the school, so I will have more information to share when I return.  Please check back for updates.

For Autumn Snow

I just received the following message, let us all say prayers ~ Aho

 

O'siyo little sister,

My sweet mom crossed over this morning at 9:00am. She was an inspiration to me throughout my life and showed me strength and helped me through many heartbreaks and dissapointments. She was my light in my saddest moments and was a strong and deeply spiritual woman, "Sprit Eyes" was her native mane. She is with the ancestors and with the Creator this day. I would ask if you will to burn sage and sound the drums for her. She will be cremated and stay with me for a time, then I will take her to the mountains and place her with my father, as she has requested from me. I have requested a small Urn to keep some of her ashes to perhaps some day take her to ceremony. Wado, be well, .

 

Oneh Donada G'hovi,

Autumn Snow

Granpa Litefoot

Hello, here is a Dreamcatcher I just finish with the Raven Spirit in the center and a very Unique fringe with feathers at the bottom.  There is a carved horn Raven head in the center with a nugget of Turquoise and piece of Red Coral woven into it also.  The hexagon beads on the leather fringe at the bottom are carved horn and there are red tail feathers from a small parrot with some red fluffs.
