Black Hills Bridges Therapeutic Foster Homes Take Shape
2020 VOLUME 69 - ISSUE 1 Black Hills Bridges Therapeutic Foster Homes Take Shape The Black Hills Building Bridges of Hope and Healing capital campaign to build two therapeutic foster homes (one for six boys and one for six girls) and four double-occupancy independent living apartments is well underway. The first home, seen above, will be a home for girls. The home is scheduled to open during the summer of 2020. To date we have raised $2,213,687.03 of the $3 million campaign. We need to raise an additional $300,000 to begin construction on the second home. Foster Homes are Building Bridges for Meet Our New Board Changing Lives Boys in Mitchell Members Pg. 2 Pg. 3 Pg. 5 605-996-2486 www.abbotthouse.org A glimpse into an abused child’s mind Recently, the world has been awakened again to the reality of our vulnerability. The Coronavirus outbreak reminds us that we are not in control, and it has left many of us feeling anxious or even scared about our future. Although the facts and opinions seem to change daily, I think most would agree that we all have thought about loved ones, our investments and what tomorrow may bring. At Abbott House, we are helping children who have lived with this feeling of vulnerability for much of their lives. Not about this virus, but about their lives. You see, children who have lived through abuse, neglect, and other negative events understand this feeling of not being in control. Not knowing if you will eat today or who might end up at your house tonight are things some children have to deal with.

Redistricting in Indian Country in South Dakota
REDISTRICTING IN INDIAN COUNTRY IN SOUTH DAKOTA WHAT IS REDISTRICTING? Redistricting is the redrawing of the geographic lines that divide districts for the state legislature, county boards of commissioners, city councils, school boards, and other local bodies. It is required by the U.S. Constitution. Redistricting usually takes place every ten years, after the United States conducts the decennial census to determine how many people live in each state. This guide is focused on redistricting in South Dakota, including the South Dakota Senate and South Dakota House of Representatives. Information on county-level redistricting in South Dakota will be available at https://vote.narf.org/redistricting/. By redrawing district lines every ten years, redistricting takes into account where populations have increased or decreased. The main goal of redistricting is to ensure that all districts have approximately the same number of people. This protects the constitutional right to have a vote that is equal to any other person’s vote. It is crucial that Native Americans have an equal voice in redistricting to protect their ability to elect candidates of their choice. How can your Native community participate in this process? How can you ensure that your community’s political power is protected? This guide explains the redistricting process and how we all can participate. WHY IS REDISTRICTING IMPORTANT? Redistricting matters because it controls access to political representation. It influences who runs for office and who is elected. Elected representatives make many decisions that influence our daily lives, from acknowledging tribal sovereignty to honoring treaties to protecting the land. Residents of a district should be able to hold their representative accountable and be sure that their representative is truly representing the interests of the people.
