Hi Everyone,

We are coming up on the first outing for our club, I hope everyone is excited! Our first meeting will be held THIS Wednesday October 10th at 7:00pm. The room is at Anderson Music Hall 22.

You MUST attend this meeting in order for us to count you on our list of students that will be needing help with the expenses for the season passes and gear.

ALSO there will be a $30.00 deposit (Cash or check made to Augsburg) PLEASE bring for Wednesday’s meeting. Unfortunately this will NOT be refunded, but this money will be going towards gas for carpools as well as showing a commitment towards the club. That commitment fee will hopefully help us get all the grant money we need to make sure none of you have to pay the full cost of gear and season passes ($310).

If there are friends who want to join they are definitely welcome to come to the meeting. I hope to see everyone there. Have nice week of classes!

P.S. If you have a class/emergency during the meeting time, contact any of the officers ASAP we will talk.

Celebrate Indigenous Peoples’ Day with folks around the world as we virtually connect and show the film The Eagle and the Condor: From Rock with Love.

Our evening event will include a virtual introduction from the filmmaker (Kahstosera’a Paulette Moore), broadcast globally to supporters like the Augsburg Native American Film Series, and stories from our students and community members who participated in the fight against DAPL. We look forward to hearing your stories of Standing Rock as part of our conversation after the film. Bring your smart phones to participate in Facebook live conversations with the filmmaker and other participating groups around the world!

The film is based around prophecy of the Eagle and Condor that originates with nations from the South and features ceremony held at the Dakota Access Pipeline (DAPL) site on Indigenous People’s Day, October 10th, 2016. The ancient prophecy predicted the epic Standing Rock water protection actions – and continues to challenge all to identify and unite our gifts and power.
