If you really want to help the Hunkpapa with the uranium contamination in the Grand River, causing genocide, crimes against humanity and ethnic cleansing, please consider donating to our organization, and, better yet, telling us how you can help and joining our cause; hopefully we will be up and running formally in a month or so. IRS tax exemption costs about a $2,000 total, along with California incorporation fees. The Hunkpapa are moving on it now. I have to say sorry to those that thought otherwise. And for those of you, wanting to be something else, that is on you; I never changed, I always laugh even if I am getting pushed off a porch while defending my Hunkpapa rights by certain folks. If I hurt anyone's feelings, that is also on you as you've carried that this long.
Here is the budget. Most of it would go to fund raising at first, but that would be easy, considering what the Hunkpapa have to offer the Bay Area cultural scene and, of course, the cuisine. The branding effort will need to do more public involvement with the local urban community, gathering resources, ideas and more friends and supporters. I keep telling the local Native community that eventually 14 tipis of Hunkpapa and other Lakota are coming to check out the Bay Area, we will hold formal introductions and ceremonies.
The $24,000 travel budget is to go to DC to establish our own Hunkpapa reservation as a response to our genocide, this will be used mostly to drive to DC and the other necessary places we need to visit. We are going to put ourselves on RECA (Radiation Exposure and Compensation Act) list, as Hunkpapa, we have to take care of each other and we have to do this ourselves. The other areas have been taken care of, they can do their business without us.
I have always said we have to come to the San Francisco Bay Area to give testimony to the local environmental groups, to let them know we exist; there are quite a few of them that really need to learn the truth about our one of a kind situation.. And to learn of another reason why nuclear energy is not safe as it sometimes results in coverups like as is happening in the Grand River valley.
Before heading to Navajo country, we have to support our Apache brethren in their opposition to Oak Flat copper mining. After the Hunkpapa will travel to Navajo with the Hunkpapa to see if there is any good volleyball players and discuss their uranium mining history. Mostly we will be visiting the Hopi, their prophetic sand paintings to see our direction that our future will take us. Then see the Grand Canyon and all the tourism activities. That is all they will do for us, if they can do more, they would have done so already and if they can help, they will. They really have to quit talking to the wrong people but, of course, I have went through several times already; they come at me like this, "tell them we have been helping you all along and we can get you guys some funds..." There is no selling out in this. Like I had shut down some lawyers that effectively silenced those southern Lakota, no secret lawyer meetings without us, no hard feelings, I love you, guys, too, as you make me laugh...hahahahahahahhaha
Eventually, and soon, we have a legal and accountable nonprofit established for this purpose. This is what I feel the first year's expenses will look like (to give an idea of the magnitude of the fund raising objectives):
