Community Center Plans
Tiyospaye Crisis Center-Community Center
Wounded Knee, South Dakota
To Be accomplished at Wounded Knee:

Secure survey of site - legal description - find corners

Stake out extent of Sacred Circle on Ground

Mark Site

Photograp; map; stream, vegetation, outcropping, topography, access to road, utilities, etc.

Discussion of erecting sign

Is there anything on or adjacent to the site of sacred, historic or other value to be preserved, recognized?

Anything to be donw now (or to be planned in interim - next spring, etc.) to prepare site as a special, spiritual, or healing sacred place in advance of construction? A blessing ceremony?

Will community take ownership or provide assurance of operating/maintenance for permanent operation? I'm still unsure whether Tiyospaye wants to do this - but will require ongoing operating commitment from someone.

Title/Dee, any legal encrachments, restrictions

History - Wounded Knee, Massacre/Battle, community, tribe.
