Video of the crew
This is footage of the crew on the trip to Pine Ridge. It's not fancy, just raw video of portions of the trip.
Some Great Shots
We were fortunate to have some gifted photographers on this trip. I did not take any of these pics and I'm not sure who did - either Connie, Tim or Cody, but they are amazing. Oh, I just realized that I did take the last one. I get one in 500 pics that are decent.

We're Home
We are back and we survived. All in all, it was a great trip - thanks to a fantastic crew and the good Grace of God.
We are exhausted! We gave up vacation time. We've traveled many hours, worked hard, put in long days and short nights. We averaged 4 hours sleep a night. Some of us were sick. Others got sick. Some of us were bitten, slapped, and snotted on. Some of us had our hearts completely broken.
We've delivered food to people who had none. We delivered water to people who didn't have water. We've put in electricity to someone's home. We took a truckload of product that can be given out to the people as needed. We took life-saving heaters for the winter. We visited in homes. We bandaged a drunk Indian who had been stabbed. We were given the honor of being invited to join in one of the Lakota sacred ceremonies of a sweat lodge. We ate a lot of dirt on rez roads. We painted over gang graffiti in the village - and added some positive graffiti of our own. Physically, we were miserable. Emotionally we were drained. Spiritually we were enriched. Jesus walked with us in unexpected places. None of us will ever be the same again.
Unloading the truck - all 7 tons of it, by hand
We filled their room
Giving out Backpacks with school supplies - the kids get so excited it's like Christmas in July
Some can't wait to get home to open them
Phayth did a rap concert in the village
And did some graffiti art on the trailers
The water fight!
Going to visit Melda Runs Around the Edge Red Bear Trejo
A Holy moment at Wounded Knee
Faith, Hope, and Love and the greatest of these, is love
