Revelation 6:5-6 NAS When He broke the third seal, I heard the third living creature saying, “Come.” I looked, and behold, a black horse; and he who sat on it had a pair of scales in his hand. And I heard something like a voice in the center of the four living creatures saying, "A quart of wheat for a denarius, and three quarts of barley for a denarius; and do not damage the oil and the wine."
Editor's Note: The rider of the black horse carries with him famine and economic collapse, signified by the weighing scales and the exorbitant prices for food and other resources.
North Dakota authorities are investigating the death of woman who was found in her home with an empty propane tank.
Debbie Dogskin’s body was discovered Tuesday morning at her Fort Yates home located on the Standing Rock Indian Reservation.
Temperatures on the reservation dropped to 1 degree below zero overnight according to Sioux County Sheriff Frank Landeis.
Autopsy results are expected today, but Landeis believes Dogskin “froze to death.”
Tribal officials have declared a state of emergency due to about 5,000 homes on the reservation are heated by propane. According to Tribal Chairman, Dave Archambault II, many residents are struggling to afford the more expensive fuel due to the high prices.
What I don’t get is this; i worked for a low income subsidy and medicare/medicaid agency dedicated to the Native American about 8 years ago for some time. What I learned was appalling. The bureau of land management for Native Americans keeps their monthly stipend and doles it out to individuals as deemed neccessary.
Every purchase and sale of vehicles, washer/dryers, etc. has to be approved by the bureau before they can buy or sell. Over the past 100 years the bureau has never kept track of each individuals money, it just goes into one big pot. It is such a hassle for them to go through the red tape to get approval for anything that most of them just say forget it. Ever wonder why you see junk cars and old washers and dryers all over? That’s why. It is such a shame. There is millions and millions of dollars of these peoples money sitting there and nobody knows what is owed to whom. Can you imagine living under that kind of control? Well, we will be soon too according to the prophecies.
I reside in Tx, so far away. I have felt in my heart to do volunteer work with an Indian reservation but I dont know of any here. My heart aches for Cindy’s description of their accommodation s there. I need to do some digging to find some kind of support for them. If I lived there I would put water in those homes and insulation. If they are missing all those things and are freezing, you know there is no insulation for them. Dont reckon they have electricity for heat or food. Makes me sick!!!!!! If any one had any information on the place, please be so kind to send it to me. I have to do something.

I grew up in Montana/ North Dakota. The reservations are extremely poor. This isnt something new in 2014 . Majority of homes dont even have running water,electricity and plumbing or heat. There are no reasonable stores in which to purchase either. Prices are very high. The only stores usually sell booze and cigarettes cheap but staples needed to stay alive are twice and sometimes 3 times higher.
I wish anyone that thinks native peoples have it made would go live there . Rocky Boy res is the poorest community in the who,e United states.
Cindy, I appreciate the confimation of what I thought to be true from the comments of someone familiar with that part of the country and reservation life. I have watched a few documentaries which showed the poverty-type conditions; and a serious lack of what many of us take for granted. I remember many months ago when there was a rare mass shooting on a reservation. The native americans there were digging 5 graves by hand; as they felt the use of machinery disrespected the earth. One, we could learn a lot from these people; and two, today it’s them, tomorrow it us. The sooner all humanity (especially those of us who are saints of the Most High) recognizes we are all on the same team, and start coming together to spread the amazing truth of Jesus and help each other get ready to weather the coming challenges, the better.
