Last-Minute Christmas Gift: Pretty Bird Woman House

Whether they're an independent nation or not, the folks building the Pretty Bird Woman House on the Standing Rock Reservation can still use some help. They're three-quarters of the way to their goal of $70,000 to build a new women's shelter to replace the one an arsonist burned down this year.

Prairie Roots and South Dakota Magazine have given the fund drive good coverage; we simply pass on the reminder this morning. If you're scrambling for those last-minute gift ideas, don't make that last dash over to Wal-Mart. Uncle Hjalmar already has socks. Skip the traffic, stay home, log on, and make contributions online.
