I think you should write more. You are a good writer. Especially about the rez. It is weird how the best and worst of life can be found on a rez. I know that's "true" anywhere but on a rez, it seems to be amplified. Volume kicked up, ya know? And white people "know" in theory about how hard times can be on a rez, but they have no real understanding of just HOW hard. And they know nothing at all of the good things. Have you read Susan Power's book, "The Grass Dancer"? You live on Standing Rock, right?
