When I was in maybe fifth grade the Rainbow Family had a gathering in a state park adjacent to the city. We had one NGO food bank / shelter in the town and they went in there and cleaned out everything they had. The little food bank had to do emergency food drives in the schools and at a football game to get back to operational status.

The Rainbow Family, a loose-knit unorganized group of people who has summer gatherings, wants to hold their gathering this year in the Black Hills of South Dakota. There are two problems with this: 1. Rainbow Family gatherings have had more than a few bad incidents in the past, and even if they were on their theoretical best behavior, they create a lot of waste and strain on resources wherever they go. 2. The Black Hills of South Dakota are sacred to the Lakota Sioux, and at least some of them are more than a little annoyed that the Rainbow Family is planning to poo poo up their land.

I've talked to people who have had experience with the Rainbow Family, and I've heard plenty of bad things. It is not just a bunch of hippies hanging out, there is a lot of hard drug use, theft, and crime that seems to ride along with it. Its like the Gathering of the Juggalos, only with no one responsible.

Anyone have any Rainbow Family experience?

Best part of the article is the angry quotes from the native dude. My faux Blackfoot accent (which I use for all Native Americans) has really fallen into disrepair.

They used to come to the parks around here and dig up the whole place looking for JO crystals and get all the plumbing hosed up with red clay washing them off in the sinks.

Last i had heard of them, they would travel the country going from music festival to music festival. A week or two before the next festival they would bury a couple tanks of nitrous in the park, within the boundaries of the festival. Then, when the festival started, they would dig up their tanks and then sell whippets for $5 a piece

If other festival-goers attempted to encroach on their nitrous-selling monopoly, they would spray their face w liquid nitrogen to freeze it and then hit it so that their loving FACE WOULD SHATTER!!!!!

Needless to say, once word got out, they were the only nitrous game in town
