- Greeting Max, my name is Ilene DePoe, My mother's was from Turtle Mountain. I miss her very much; therefore, I felt compelled to reply on your post referring to the Sun Dance. I am grateful to learn about the Ceremoney. I do miss my family at Turtle Mountain. I miss the long rides with my mother each year. I would take her home to visit our relations, as we have a big family. St. Ann's day was our annual trip with mom. My daughter and my niece were just little then and they participated in the Siuox Powwow. I guess what I am saying is " Thanks for reminding me about my family in N. Dakota!"
