Although we had planned a more direct approach for that day, with all the recent arrests, this was a fitting action. Sunday, the Ehnamani Sundance Church held a ceremony for the buffalo on the Madison river bluffs. About 40 people gathered in prayer for the buffalo nation. It was a beautiful end to a truly crazy week, and a much needed storm began to drop snow and rain after the ceremony. He was about sixty feet away and he looked right through me.
Spoken language has no words for that sacred experience.
Please join us in letting the new Secretary of the Interior, Gale Norton and Secretary of Agriculture, Anne Venneman know that folks are concerned about the plight of the last free roaming buffalo herd. Email them as citizens of this great nation to implore them, in behalf of one of our national treasures, to protect the Yellowstone buffalo. Over 90,000 folks signed and delivered a citizen's petition to their predecessors. We delivered copies of the petition to President Clinton, Interior Secretary Babbitt, and Forest Service Chief Dombeck but they, unfortunately, did not take action. Join us in requesting that they, as public officials, represent the concerns of the public and look into this matter.
