my sister jackie will be the head lady dancer at the veterans pow wow this week end. it will be held at prairie peoples park on saturday. grand entry is at 1 and 7. they also gonna have a parade before the po0w wow. sometime during the pow wow they will have an honor dance for jackie. i hope it is a smoke dance. then she will have a giveaway. her family will help her with that. i have gone to alot of pow wows with her. we drove to the gathering of nations a few times and gone to many of the local pow wows. we had the same campsite at our pow wow. we shared many a piece of greasy frybread over the years.

we did pretty good at our garage sale. made a few bucks selling off some of the junk we bought at garage sales. sold alot of dvds but didnt put a dent into them. still got many of them left. they gonna have another flea market  at the bingo hall  in december. right after per cap. mary already talking bout going for that. i would suggest that others part with some of their treasures and make themselves a few bucks. if you havent used it in a year, you dont need it.

got another 4 day weekend coming up. friday will be off for american indian day. i think every day was indian day til they slowly took them all away ‘cept the one day. i look at our 4 per cap days as american indian day. i am already looking forward to a long weekend. got some much to catch up on.

this past weekend i was looking for a chainsaw. the dealers of the brand name i was wanting to buy were closed. there were two places open that sold that brand. but i didnt want to spend my money there. one is a place near the rez. everytime i went there one of the workers acted put out anytime i asked something. so i thought why bother the poor sap. wont spend my money there.  i did business with another place that was open. i quit going there because a clerk would ask for an id everytime i wrote a check. the other clerks knew i was a good customer and i was in their computer system. they didnt bother id-ing me everytime. so cuz the one clerk was a jerk i didnt buy there either. i am firm believer that if someone dont treat you right, dont buy from them. so i am still in the market for a chainsaw. will visit the other dealers when they are open.

one time when i was going to one of the local universities i went to listen to a couple of 60s radicals speak. they were abbie hoffman and rennie davis. they were of the chicago seven fame. one was billed as still a radical and the other was a ‘yuppie’. that wasnt a cool thing to be at the time. they both gave their points of view, which were presented as being on opposite sides. rennie spoke. he said the trouble with minorities is that they play the victim. that it was time to stop playing a victim and to act. he was booed for that. kinda thought people missed his point. like it or not it was true in some cases. some people do play the victim. because the guy said that he ended up the bad guy. the other guy was the good guy and sold a few books. i assume both got paid. i was entertained for a while. then had to go to class. i sat in class tuning out the teacher and wishing i wouldnt end up an aging hippie….
