As a junior dancer, you also get to travel a lot in the summer, to see different towns and reserves and meet tons of other kids - kids just like yourself - out following the powwow trail with their moms, dads, brothers and sisters.

Continued from last month.
Now when the boy went home, he was uncommunicative and angry, as were his siblings and the rest of the children who were home for the holidays.

Welcome to the year 2000. It's the new millennium and you are

I've also improved on my humor as well as my reporting, all
thanks to the people at AMMSA.
