A Glimpse of the rez

I started this blog so many times and something always happened.

Maybe i am not supposed to show you how shit is here.

but ANYWAYS...

Here was my little selling trip last week.

*some photos have been digitally enhanced because I suck at photography.

Walking out my house to the right. 1213north

so halfway to the trading post I take these pics. 1213bus

that pic up there was for Mame..she likes broke down cars...well, there is a bus!

Here is what I made last week. 1213hat1

1876 is the year Custer went down with an arrow in his butt and the two flags are his and his calvary's. So here is the road out to my land and my family's on my dad's side...Gooseneck Road

After that we left. From the trading post you can see forever. So here is a pic of a community in between where I live and the trading post called Manderson. I played with the color a little bit and I must say, Manderson never looked better. 1213manderhousing1213manderpo1213manderville

So there was a little glimpse of my rez. I will post more later. *phew* that was a process and just for you.

Nice tour. I think my people must've hired the same guys to build their 'Tribal Coalition Houses' on our lands. Nice scenery. In this state, I think there's some kinda law that requires 1 of every 5 homes to have a derelict vehicle in the yard, and 1 of every 3 homes to have a vehicle for sale on the property:)
