Aho Relatives!
“Hopefully we can all begin the task of mending the sacred hoop of life and begin
working together to save earth mother, all things, and ourselves. Let us stop killing each
other and the world around us ... Instead, let us become spiritual warriors, fighting our
greatest enemy - Ourselves. ” Black Elk
The Native American people incarcerated at the Snake River Correctional Institution
(S.R.C.L) in Ontario, Ore., need your help. We are in need of spiritual advisors, sundancers,
pipe carriers, medicine people, storytellers, dancers, and singers.
If you or anyone you know would like to help, but don’t know what you could do, we
invite you to please join us as a member of our circle, as a volunteer supporter and share
some time with us, so that we may grow together in our physical struggle on this
spiritual journey.

Work out a safe route to school with
your parents. Choose the quickest way
with the fewest street crossings and use
intersections with crossing guards. Stay
away from parks, vacant lots, fields, and
other places where there aren’t many
people around.
Whenever possible, walk to and from
school with a friend, neighbor, brother,
or sister. Don’t go by yourself.
Be sure you know your home phone
number (including area code) and
address, the numbers of your parents
at work and of another trusted adult, and
how to use 911 for emergencies.
Never talk to strangers or accept rides
or gifts from strangers. Remember that
a stranger is anyone you or your parents
don’t know well and trust.
If you bike or skate to school, wear a
helmet. And don’t forget to lock up your
bike with a sturdy lock.
If you’re home alone after school, check
in with a parent or neighbor as soon as
you walk in the door.
Let parents and friends know if you stay
late after school. Get permission first if
you want to play with a friend instead of
going home.
If you see anyone doing something that
makes you uneasy or you think isn’t right
(a stranger hanging around the school
playground, a bigger kid bullying younger
children, vandalism, or graffiti), tell your
parents, a teacher, or’ another
trusted adult.
