LINCOLN, Neb. – A prayer vigil for Palestine was held Friday, May 21 at Indian Center Inc. The vigil, hosted by the Intertribal Medicine Collective and the Nebraska Turtle Heart Society, drew a diverse crowd of people. The group prayed and offered words of encouragement after being called upon to do so.
“The request came from the community about a week ago that they wanted to honor and pray for the people of Palestine,” said Renee Sans Souci, a citizen of the Omaha Tribe of Nebraska. “We wanted to do this in a good way, and a peaceful, prayerful way,” said Sans Souci who is also chairwoman for the Nebraska Turtle Heart Society.
