Phase II

 Having completed our Phase I mission to Standing Rock.  We successfully delivered a dome, teepees, stoves and developed trusted relationships between Red Lightning and the Standing Rock organizers. The protectors at Standing Rock are preparing to camp throughout the freezing Winter and will need all the supplies they can get to contend with the harsh climate. 

With the critical feedback we received on the ground there of what is needed for the Camps  this winter, we are now in the process of preparing our Phase II mission to Standing Rock.  This mission will include delivering more teepees, food, clothes, stoves and setting up a Red Lightning village with the intention to:

• Raise awareness, secure media attention, and provide more support to the Stand Rock community
• Build winter warm shelter and sanctuary for day/night time gatherings
• Create space for speakers, performances, prayer and ceremony for the camps
• Power the camp with Solar Power energy
• Provide tents and teepees for guests such as journalists, celebrities, performers and members of Red Lightning or other Burning Man camps coming to visit/work at Standing Rock

We are creating a small village that will provide shelter from the wind/rain/snow. 

• 44ft Lightning Dome w/smaller dome interlock entry dome;
• Solar Power from a mobile solar generator with battery storage and diesel back-up;  
• 24/7 electricity
• Indoor and outdoor lighting;
• Community and guest tipis;
• Guest Kodiak tents/Shift Pods

Phase II RL Village Layout

Solar + Wind + Battery Power System

Heating the Dome

As winter comes to standing rock, the Lightning Dome provides a  warm gathering place and shelter from the harsh elements. The dome is heated with electric heaters providing quiet warmth powered by the solar generator in combination with wood heating stoves.

A combination of 6 hanging Infrared Heaters and a circulating fan will heat the dome with Sun Power from the Solar System. Creating lighted space with heated zones for gathering, talks, performances and ceremony.
