Logistics

• Prepare to be 100% self-sufficient in temperatures as low as -20°F and winds up to 70mph.
• If you’re driving, go through South Dakota
• If you fly into Bismarck, you will be rerouted onto Highway 6 rather than staying on 1806/24
• Do a drive/walk through the camps to figure out what community fits you best
• Be aware that Sacred Stone has many rules to be observed
• Sacred Stone is for prayer
• Rose Bud or Oceti will be host to much larger energy
• Head up to legal tent and fill out the forms: these will help tremendously if you get arrested
• Head up to media tent if you plan on having ANY recording devices on you, so you can get a pass to do so—be mindful of how you may be differently perceived within camp by water warriors and by police forces on the front lines
• Bring tobacco for offerings!!
