A Worthy Cause
'My Sister Friends' House - Mita Maske Ti Ki' is having a fund raising drive to keep their shelter open.
Mita Maske Ti Ki has been helping women and children escape from Domestic Violence and sexual assault in Sioux Falls and neighboring communities since 2000. Their clientele has been primarily Native American, up to 85% of the women they see identify as Native American. They have operated under the auspices of other Domestic Violence prevention programs... the South Dakota Coalition Against Domestic Violence and Sexual Assualt (SDCADVSA) and more recently, Project Safe. However, the grants used by these organizations to fund Mita Maske Ti Ki have run out and, like so many social services in this day and age, have not been renewed.

It's mostly folks who have been on Go Native America (http://www.gonativeamerica.com) trips. They'll be really interested. (I'm heading out to Navajo and Apache country in October with GoNativeAmerica)
Thanks for this!!!
