ter the pow w ow s th a t we
have p ut on here at DRCI.
We would greatly appreciate
the W arm Springs people’s
support in future powwows

There are several Native in
m ates b e a d w o rk in g up a
sto rm fo r this event, and
there are several others teach
ing each other songs from our
d ifferen t cultures. We are
striving to make o ut powwow
feel authentic, so th at our
guests will feel welcome and
at ease. We are getting a jump
start now, so that we will be
ready for the powwow.
We, as N ative American
people,, would like to ask if
there is a Warm Springs tribal
member out there who would
be wilting to volunteer one
day a m onth to come in here
at D RCI and be our spiritual
advisor. This is so that we can
practice our religion. We also
would tike to ask the Warm
Springs com m unity if they
can find it in their hearts to
d onate beadw ork supplies
and traditional foods for our
powwow that is coming up
soon, and in the years ahead.
We would greatly appreciate
it.
We/Native inmates incar
cerated here at DRCI know
that we have gone astray and
are now paying our debts to
society, and are looking for
ward to living our lives for
the better o f ourselves and
for our families. We pray and
hope that you can forgive us
and keep us in your prayers
through our trials and tribu
lations.
