2018

Every trip we make to Pine Ridge Indian Reservation has its unique challenges, and this year was no different, although some of them were fairly common by now: we had a blowout on the trailer that tore the fender off and left shredded rubber all over the road. The blowout was pretty run-of-the-mill, but the ...

Yes, yes, yes, it’s time again for our annual message posting the details of our planned June 2018 mission trip to Pine Ridge Indian Reservation, in which I announce the dates, and then spend the rest of the post begging for people to go, along with my feeble attempt at manipulating your feelings so you’ll ...

I’m happy to report that we all survived this year’s mission trip to Pine Ridge Indian Reservation. It was a good trip (as always), and I think we did some good out there. I’m also pretty sure that the trip did us more good than we know right now. I feel bad that normally I ...

For those of you who are interested, below is the paper I wrote based on the Surveymonkey survey I did on Pine Ridge Indian Reservation. I appreciate all of the responses I got. I’m the first to admit that my survey was wildly unscientific, and that my analysis of the results is at best arguable ...

Warning! The following post contains some pretty painful stuff (for me anyway), and a plea for help. If you’re looking for light entertainment, you should probably look elsewhere. That said, I hope you won’t, and, if you do make it all the way to the end, I hope you’ll find it worth your time and ...

Back in October, Dave and I made a run out to Pine Ridge Indian Reservation, to take winter clothes and stuff to the villages of Wanblee and Potato Creek. We put the word out that we were doing it, and started taking donations. Almost immediately, worry set in. Would we have enough stuff donated to ...

We’ve been hoping to get input from other folks in the group about the trip, and finally got someone to bite! Amber Goodhew, a high school student, has joined us on the last two trips, and has quickly become an invaluable member of our group. We’re delighted that she’s taken the time to sit down ...

Okay, so first off, let me say that I’m sorry I haven’t been posting anything in awhile (really, since I set it up). I’m going to try to do better (although I make no promises). Anyway, we just got back from our annual mission trip to Pine Ridge Indian Reservation, in S. Dakota, where we ...
