Hello, relatives: Lakota Oyate Ki (Native Culture Club) and Religious Services, located within the walls of the Oregon State Penitentiary in Salem, Ore., are in search of new volunteers to assist the Native American men in a cultural/traditional way of life. Volunteers are needed to pour water for Inipi Ceremonies (Sweat Lodge). Every Saturday, there are two Sweat Lodge Ceremonies - 7-11 a.m. and 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. A sack lunch, juice, towels and medicines (sage, tobacco, cedar, juniper, lavender, copal and others) will be provided, plus plenty of water. The volunteer for this ceremony has to pass a police background check to be cleared to enter the prison. If you are interested or have more questions, please feel free to speak with one of our ODOC Spiritual Volunteers (Card Holder) Jubel Perkins at 503-784-7082 orjperkins@naranorthwest.org. Once authorized to enter the facility, the volunteer will be notified by phone, e-mail or fax. A certain Saturday of the month will be confirmed with the volunteer and if the volunteer has any special medicines other than items mentioned above, please notify the chaplain so these items can be authorized/placed on a 121-Clearance Form. To volunteer, contact the OSP chaplain, Phil Holbrook, at 503-373-1350; by fax at 503-378-4262; or by e-mail at Phillip.E.Holbrook@doc.state.or.us.
