Government Shut-down Means Reservation Food Shortages
On Pine Ridge Reservation, the government shut-down means that as of Friday
October 11th the commodity and WIC (Women Infants and Children) programs will
no longer be distributing food. It means that the families, children, and
elders who depend on this program will not have food. It means that 26 other
programs will close and 220 people will lose jobs in an area where unemployment
already stands at 80%.
“Children and families will go hungry without those programs” said Mason Big
Crow, Oglala Sioux Treasurer. Already children and elders go without food on a
regular basis and are now facing the prospect of more prolonged periods of
hunger.
Yesterday a mother who is trying to care for her children and an extended
family of 11, called to ask about food. When I asked if a food order the
following day would help, she said quietly that they would get by. I pressed on
to ask what they were having for dinner and almost inaudibly she said “rice.”
The Lakota people need One Spirit to stand with them. The list of broken
promises from government keeps getting longer for these people too often
forgotten.
Help provide where others fail.
Donate now and spread the word – on this Columbus Day, let's remember the first
Americans.
