I asked my mama for 50 cents and she knocked me so high I didn't come down 'til the 4th of July.

RB: Where do you find this stuff? Luv it. Thanks

It is a good time to see the box as well..........the river will be up.

Redbird, are ribbon shirts now common everywhere? I thought they were Pueblo...............

Don't hold your breath to see the River up, not in Albuquerque anyway. I crossed over the bridge today and there are still sandbars visible in the river. Although I believe there is a bit more water flowing than a few weeks ago.

I live near Old Town about a mile from the River. I'd love to go to the POWWOW but I don't do crowds well these days.

I've seen ribbon shirts at Native gatherings from all areas east of the Mississippi. Never been on the other side, except DC.

The GON has gotten HUGE! Pretty soon, they will need a venue the size of the Rose Bowl. I liked those bird singers. Especially since they were inter-tribal from southern california, which most people equate with hispanics. And I love the fact that they are all young people.

Pratt's artwork is on display at the Southern Plains Indian Museum in Anadarko. Admission to exhibits is free.

Let us honor Charles Chibitty, the last Comanche code talker who used the Comanche native language to transmit messages for the Allies in Europe during World War II.



Charles Chibitty: "It's strange, but growing up as a child I was forbidden to speak my native language at school," Chibitty said in 2002. "Later my country asked me to. My language helped win the war and that makes me very proud. Very proud."

I was fortunate to meet Mr Chibitty almost 20 years ago. He was not only a great man, he was a very good man of courage, compassion and humor. I pray such traits are passed on to his decendents....we need men and women of that character and strength and wisdom in this country today.
