Oki. The month of May kept me busy. I put myself in charge of the Powwow Calendar for our papers. I forgot I had made some friends with some of the powwow committee members. After introducing myself, they would say, "Well, it's been a long time." To think after all these years, I'm remembered! It makes me feel glad, because I was not talking to myself when I wrote for Windspeaker. I like writing for Alberta Sweetgrass, BUT I keep reminding you that this column is your column. Come on and write or phone and tell me what's up!
