Here is a short entry to let you know what I did on my birthday! I attended Montana States American Indian Council (AIC) Pow Wow and had a rip roaring good time. It was nice to get a chance to see a bunch of people one last time before I left the state, eat some delicious fry bread, and see some amazing dancing and drumming. Little did I know that the head advisor of the AIC had something special planned for me on Saturday night. That evening they honored me with a dance, a song, a bunch of gifts (including a
Pendleton blanket), and all the fry bread I could eat for the weekend! It was a great gesture of appreciation, and I can not put it in words how much it meant to me. It is truly I who am appreciative of them as I have gotten so much more out of tutoring and working with the AIC/COOP(Caring for Our Own Program)/AIRO (American Indian Research Opportunities), it is something I will truly miss when I no longer am in Montana.
Cheryl, one of my best friends in Bozeman, also convinced me to run a freaking 5K. I finished in
Me and the local Mountain Man
No kidding the dude dresses like this ALL the time. about a half hour...can't remember the exact time, but it was close to a ten minute mile (Yep, speedy freaking Gonzales here at 6 mph). Hey, but it was a blast. It was an awesome weekend and I would like to share with you some really cool pictures (and yes Michael Sulock has come through again with some phenomenal pictures of the event
here and
here).
Once more a heart felt thanks to the AIC, COOP, and AIRO for making my time at MSU that more special (If any of you are reading this you should come to Maine and visit, I'll treat you to a lobster dinner).
