As things are unfolding here in South Dakota, I wanted to give you a sneak peek into what my year (into next year) is looking like. I'm in the middle of Sundance season out here in Lakota and boy, have I been getting my eyes full and learning a lot. I have only been in South Dakota since June 12 and have already been honored in great ways as the leaders have been opening their homes and hearts to me. Here's what my schedule will kinda look like:

This does not include another Native American camp that I will probably be helping to direct and it does not include any course I might be able to develop or teach for any seminary. I am going to try to go to Virginia and Alabama each quarter to see my family. Tickets home look like $450-500. These camps cost from $3,000 to $5,000 to put on. I will soon have detailed budgets, because I am applying to a couple of foundations for support. The music camp is coming up soon and I will be teaching guitar along with Lakota musicians teaching other instruments. These events serve at risk Lakota youth in the second poorest neighborhood in America having a 87% unemployment rate. Thanks to those of you that have asked how I was doing and sent support. Please let me know how I can answer any questions and THE DONATE BUTTON IS AT THE UPPER RIGHT OF THIS BLOG. IT GOES TO PAYPAL. If you prefer to mail a check, make it out to: Jack Alexander 1516 N. Maynard Lane Sioux Falls SD 57110. Love to all!
