Henry Red Cloud, David Bartecchi, and Ralf-Kracke Berndorff recently returned from their successful tour of Europe. During their month long journey they presented and showed a video promoting Village Earth’s land restoration projects on the Pine Ridge Reservation to crowds in over 10 different cities in Germany, Austria, Switzerland and France. They were overwhelmed by the amount of support they received at each event and would like to thank everyone who helped to make it a success! The funds that were raised during the tour will help pay for two small buffalo herds that we hope to release this spring and for the installation of a well near Slim Buttes.
