400 Kilometers

Went to the Lighthouse Theater tonight to see a play. It was very entertaining filled with witty humour and an important message for this area especially at this time. The playwrite was attempting to breach the defenses of Whites and Indians and get to an understanding of each others worlds by first providing clashes between them over their differences and then by a coming together and gaining of mutual respect over their likenesses. I can not due the play justice by trying to break it down, but I will say I left feeling a little more hopeful by seeing a positive message being brought to the audience. I also picked up a book today from the library titled "The Indian Agent" which is making me think somebody out there knows what they're doing. I've been feeling the tug lately from that spiritual side of me. Back to my honourary title of Gate Keeper of the Wannabe' Tribe.

May I also suggest for some fun-laughing-indian humour "The truth about stories" Thomas King.

Appreciate the tip Queen. I'll look out for it. Hopefully the library system around here has it. Enjoying your blog and your "coy" wit.

I don't think you gave me a copy. Looks like you'll have to come visit now.

Oh no! Not a visit! My poor ailing bro. I need to call you. XOX, your bad sister....
