Hi Patric,
"The support of the outside world in this event is important because the young need to experience an embracing of who they really are, and they are gentle horseman capable of being great warriors in the world." This is an important point, and something to inspire all of us, in our own respective cultures as well. I'll help you start doing the following...(its something anyone can do) Invite WE users who are part of the following areas of focus Indigenous Lands (470): http://www.wiserearth.org/user/search/q/area%253AIndigenous%2BLands Indigenous Rights (1061): http://www.wiserearth.org/user/search/q/area%253AIndigenous%2BRights Indigenous People and Culture (692): http://www.wiserearth.org/user/search/q/area%253AIndigenous%2BPeople%2Band%2BCulture I would also try to simply target people living in North Dakota or a surrounding state, since it'll be more likely for them to make their way there. If you know of people who want to help, it'd be good to roughly divide up the lists so that you won't overlap with others. To invite a user to a group, visit their user profile and then click on "Invite to Groups". From there, a list of all the groups you personally are a member of will be displayed, as well as any groups which you both are members of. Simply click on the group name to invite them to a group. With a group, you can message everyone using the "message to all members" link under "Admin Tools" (I recommend using this in moderation though!) I think I have more ideas, but first things first. |

I invited about a dozen people today with the Indigenous Lands area of focus, and after searching for "Native American" invited a few more.
