. We will probably disagree on the reservation issue as a whole , however, as I feel the reservation system needs to be obliterated.
On the contrary , I actually agree with you. The Menominee nation has certain funding programs which aide only those who live on the reservation. I along with many others feel it's counterproductive. It deturs one from moving from the reservation and starting a new life in America. Many elders fail to accept the fact that one can start a new and good life for their family off of the reservation while still keeping our heritage alive.[>:]
Speaking of Lewis & Clark , we also have some history here of them traveling down the Fox river which runs through my home town. My father actually has an old musket that was found on the Fox river many years ago and has been dated back in the 1800's.
I have been considering coming to Montanna for a pow wow for the last few years , guess I should get off my duff and just do it.
