This is the place and the memorial where Alex Pretti was murdered, now covered in snow.



And across the street, at the donut shop where it started.



The Native community held a prayer and dance ceremony here and where Renée Good was killed. I was awed at the grace of the Native people who have suffered so much at the hands of invaders and still came out to honor these two White people - also killed by invaders. They danced and prayed for all of our relatives, all of humanity.

I wish this was a better photo and that I could post a video of the dancing and singing.



Here are better photos:
