In sections:
Two Northern Michigan folk groups - White Water and Duo Borealis - and a popular local Native American musician put on a free benefit concert on Sunday (August 12, 2007) at the Custer Lutheran Fellowship church in Custer, SD to battle the alarming teen suicide emergency and rising domestic violence on the Lakota Sioux Rosebud Reservation.
The concert raised about $1,000 for prevention projects operated by the White Buffalo Calf Woman Society (WBCWS) in Mission, SD, the nation's oldest Native American domestic violence program.
