HAWK 1890 Descendants hasn't added a story.
Heartbeat At Wounded Knee or HAWK 1890 is a non-profit organization
made up of descendants of the survivors of the Wounded Knee Massacre
of 1890. One of the goals of HAWK is to honor and respectfully
memorialize the survivors and victims of the massacre.
One of the accomplishments of the organization is they were able
to recover and repatriate a Ghost Dance shirt from Stockholm, Sweden.
Hawk has also started an initiative to have the medals of honor
awarded to the 7th Cavalry for the Wounded Knee Massacre, rescinded,
The survivor descendants now live in various areas of the Untied
States and Canada, though most remain within the borders of their
ancestral lands.
Currently there are several things the group must meet to
discuss, including healing from the generational trauma caused by the
massacre, potential issues arising regarding the massacre and burial
sites as well as reunifying with more relatives.
A meeting is scheduled to take place at Bear Butte in Sturgis,
South Dakota October 13-15, 2017. We have fallen short in our other
fundraising efforts to accomodate those traveling to the meeting. Our
current fundraising goal is $5500 to assist with food, lodging and
travel for participants who are traveling a long distance to attend
the meeting as well as providing transportation for disabled and
elderly descendants who wish to attend.
if you are able, please contribute and also please share with
others so we can work to raise the rest of the funds needed.
