Iyuskinyan Wachinyankapi! (Great to see you all!) Iyuskinyan Wachinyankapi! (Great to see you all!)

Let's learn about your grow, plant, or hardiness zones in order to find a natural rhythm to your seed starting process. 

On Standing Rock, we are in grow zone 4.  This month, we can start Asian greens, broccoli, cauliflower, Brussel sprouts, eggplant, cabbage, kale, leeks, lettuce, Swisschard and tomatoes. 

What are your gardening goals for 2023?
Please use this simple guide to help inspire, jog your memory, or jumpstrart your garden planning.  Reflect on your garden planning, research your growth zone, and more.  We are here for you if youʻd like more information and for support.

Remember, slow small changes can be impactful!

Mitakuyapi! (Relatives!) Wakinyan Agli (Welcoming Mitakuyapi! (Relatives!)

Wakinyan Agli (Welcoming the Thunders)

This ceremony usually happens around the spring equinox, which falls on March 21st this year.  During this time, our thunder being relatives begin to come back and wake up life (i.e., plants, animals, people, etc.) around us. 

However, due to climate change, this is different for each community and each area of the country (and world).

A long time ago our relatives would travel together to the He Sapa (Black Hills) and have a large ceremony. Some communities and bands did not travel to the Black Hills, yet they honored these thunder beings in their own way. 

We suggest you and your thiwahe (family) find ways that you can honor the thunder beings where you are, by:

1. Find a high hill/mountain or another sacred and significant landmark in your area and hike there.  This creates a connection and appreciation for that land.

2. Gather or prepare an offering (i.e., food, chansasa, water, wasna, rocks, some folks make prayer ties/flags (consult a local Elder or local knowledge keeper).

3. Sing a prayer song, offer a meaningful prayer, and make sure everyone present has an opportunity to do the same, if they wish.

4. Honor what awakens within you and walk with those teachings and prayers.
