[QUOTE="skyhightree1, post: 1145133, member: 13268"] That's great you had a good time with your grandkids I like hearing that. It is also great you had fun learning about native culture I am native and still learn something I don't know by listening to my older relatives or any elder. I understand why not many in the crowd now hopefully next year will be great. I posted this in another forum but this is where I go every year. It is the tribe I belong too.
