David Pendleton Oakerhater

The following, which comes from Friend Kent, may help explain the reference made to St. Oakerhater in the entry below:

You are invited to the Oakerhater Honor Dance which is a pow wow held each year at this time to honor Saint David Pendelton Oakerhater, a Cheyenne Warrior who became a Deacon in the Episcopal Church. This a unique and enriching event which will give you the chance to dance and share an Indian supper with us. This is the 1st time we are having an event on the land where we will build the Oakerhater Episcopal Center (church, community center, and dance ground) and Bishop Moody will bless the land. If you have never danced at a pow wow, we will show you. Several us bring extra gourds to share for Gourd Dance. I look forward to this every year with great anticipation. I hope you can come.
