Dear BF Reader:
If you haven’t seen the Buffalo’s Fire video fundraiser for this website, check it out. While on the site, you can can read Indiegogo daily updates I’m posting on this campaign.  I should have my computer back from the PC Doctor on Tuesday, which means I can get post some latest developments in Indian Country. If you go to the Indiegogo site, you can read the full story and all the fundraising details about this campaign, including when and how money will be spent. Also, please note that the comments section on this page is open again. I had to figure out how to handle spam. It’s under control. No more spam.

Keep sharing the word on your social media networks. Let’s turn the campaign spark into a flame.
