Also, a short Walk with banners and posters  may be held prior to the prayer ceremony, depending on the severity of the weather and interest among those who are prepared for the weather.   The LNG facility is one of up to 11 existing and possible natural gas projects planned in an 8-mile radius in the heart of indigenous territory in Robeson County, NC and near the predominately African American town of Maxton.
