Blizzard on Pine Ridge Reservation (South Dakota)

There is a blizzard currently ongoing on the reservation. The reports are that power is out all over the reservation and that while the snow has stopped for the moment, there is a “ground blizzard”
with 60 mile per hour winds. John DuBray – from Allen – reports that the roads are blocked and they are not able to get through to people who need help. People on the rez who have 4 wheel drive can’t move right now but will at the first sign of a break in the weather. They will need gas money to get to the people who are stranded without food, water and heat.

I have contacted the Red Cross – they confirm that at present they are not able to move to provide help. They will start to mobilize at the first opportunity but will need the help of the people on the reservation to reach the elders and families who need help most urgently.
If you can help, please do so.

Love and peace,
Jeri Baker
