On Twitter: Northern Cheyenne Youths leave Montana, on way to Fort Robinson, Neb.
Students from Northern Cheyenne Reservation in Montana on travel day for Fort Robinson Outbreak Run.
I made it to Lame Deer, Mont., last night where I met up with the organizers of the Fort Robinson Outbreak Run. For those just checking in, about Northern Cheyenne youths are beginning a 400-mile journey from Fort Robinson, Neb., to Lame Deer, Mont. The students are in vans and buses and are on their way to Nebraska. I'm with the caravan now. We are in Sturgis, S.D. We are going to make our way over to Bear Butte for a prayer to get the run off to a good start. Keep the kids in your prayers. It's now 2:25 pm Mountain time. We will drive on down to Fort Robinson this evening. The students will begin the run in the morning.
Meanwhile, everyone met this morning at the high school in Lame Deer for a morning prayer. The students are running for their people, remembering the past with hope for a better future for all the people. The cell phone service is spotty, but I plan to make updates on Twitter when possible. Go to @buffalosfire at Twitter to read more. In fact, I expect most of my updates to be on Twitter, more so than this blog site.
That's all for now!
