Heading to Washington D.C to meet up with other, Indigenous Nations to send a message to Obama in regards to the proposed. “KXL Pipeline” Members of United Urban Warrior Society from Black Hills Chapter & Eagle Butte Chapter are leaving around April 22nd 2014 and will return around April 27th 2014 I would like to ask the rest of U.U.W.S. members and friends as well as other supporter’s to help us with the expenses if you can. Every little bit helps. We will be riding on one of two busses from Cheyenne River Sioux Tribe, and will be camping at a Native camp in Washington D.C. our expenses will be minimal mostly for food & water. Members of the Eagle Butte Chapter and Black Hills Chapter will be riding the bus from Eagle Butte. Depending on what we collect we will help others to go. Members of our New York Chapter will meet us there. Send donations too: United Urban Warrior Society P.O. Box 14 Rapid City, S.D. 57709-0014 605-381-8612 Jamesswan_57701@yahoo Current planned Itinerary On April 22nd, a group of ranchers, farmers and tribal communities from along the Keystone XL tar sands pipeline route, called the Cowboy and Indian Alliance, will ride into Washington DC and set up camp near the White House to tell President Obama to reject the pipeline. On April 26th, thousands of people will join them to stand together for a final message that the Keystone XL pipeline and the tar sands must be rejected — to protect this, and future generations. Four days after the Cowboy Indian Alliance tipis first go up on the Mall, we’ll gather at 11 AM on Saturday the 26th at the encampment to make our closing argument against the pipeline. As we gather, everyone there will be asked to make their thumbprint mark on a tipi. Then we’ll hear from the farmers, ranchers, tribal leaders and refinery community members who will be directly impacted by Keystone XL and the tar sands — and who have pledged to lead the resistance should it be approved. Then, those leaders will carry our painted tipi to present to President Obama, with thousands of people standing behind them. This tipi will represent our hope that he will reject the pipeline, and our promise that we will protect our land, water and climate if he chooses to let the pipeline move forward. Once the tipi is delivered, we’ll return to the encampment in song and make our pledge to continue resistance to the pipeline should it be approved? The event should end around 2PM, but there will be a gathering time with music at the tipi camp from 6-8PM where folks may visit and meet one another. On Sunday, April 27, there will be an interfaith ceremony to formally close the tipi camp that will start at 10:00 a.m. The moral argument for action could not be clearer, with our future on the line. Your support is greatly appreciated Thank you James “Magaska” Swan
