Letters from Cheyenne High School Students - "I'm Proud To Be Cheyenne"

I was given letters from all the students from the Lame Deer High school who came to my studio yesterday. I just wanted to share them with you.
These letters show a pride in not only their heritage, but their culture and where they live. They are decedents of a people who survived near genocide by our military and government policies.
I can't put myself or you in their shoes, but I thought you should at least see the make of theirs

Student from Lame Deer High School Visited Me Today

Lame Deer reservation is south east of Billings Montana and about 3 hours from where I live. The student and several adults drove to my little town today to meet with me and watch me sculpt.
The children are members of the Norther Cheyenne. Direct descendants of warriors who fought at the battle of the Little Big Horn, or more commonly known as, Custer's Last Stand. What an amazing heritage these young people share.
Every attempt was made to wipe out these people back in the 1800s, and yet they survived. Talk about tenacity and courage.

On This 4th of July, least we forget

I've decided to put this video on my blog today, that hopefully will inform those in this country and outside it, the wondrous thing that happened in this world, 235 years ago. The birth of an idea, and a country, that for centuries, had only been dreamed of by slaves, and the oppressed down through history.

Will be Out of My Studio Till Wednesday the 6th

Forth of July on Monday. Independence Day. I'll video the parade here in Ennis Montana and have it up as soon as I can on Monday.. or Tuesday. Tuesday I'm running to Bozeman to do business.
