SUNRISE SERVICES

I recently saw a flyer at the Mohegan Tribal Government Building, that said "Sunrise Services".

It stated that Native American families were invited to attend sunrise services at the Mohegan Church, on Church Lane, Uncasville, Connecticut, as 7:00 A.M. on March 21, 28, and April 4, 11, 18 and 25, 2009. The dates are Saturdays.

I called our Mohegan Tribal Medicine Woman, Melissa Tantaquidgeon Zobel. and asked her about the sunrise services. She said she was not doing it but was putting together people to run the events. She didn't have all the details but together when we spoke to her. She said it would be like a circle. It is most likely taking place on the front lawn of the church. It will be spiritual in nature. Hopefully it will have a unifying effect for the tribe.

There will be light refreshments to follow the sunrise services.

If you have any questions, please contact our Medicine Woman, at 860-862-6209.

Thank you, Melissa for providing this for the Mohegan people in this time of uncertainty and apprehension. Brokenwing Editorials thinks it is a great idea. See you there.
