Driving home from Florida this morning while I write this newsletter. Well my wife is driving, and I'm riding! Who does the driving in your family?

It was great to visit with our daughter. She got us into a cast preview of a new attraction. That was fun to ride it before the general public. If you want to follow along with our travels, I'm posting videos on Tik Tok.

We also watched a new show with drones. So amazing to see Disney characters come to life in the sky with dozens of drones.

Have you entered today for the Pendleton Blanket? Remember there are entries that you can repeat everyday for more chances to win!

​Wab Kinew: A Leader Bridging Indigenous Heritage and Modern Politics​

Wabanakwut “Wab” Kinew is a name familiar to many Canadians and all around Indian Country. Born on December 31, 1981, Wab Kinew is renowned for his work in numerous industries, including politics, media, music, and education.

I briefly met him at the 2024 Manito Ahbee Pow Wow. He has committed to hosting a special at Manito Ahbee for the next four years as a way to give back to the community. I'm excited to see a politician who grew up around Pow Wows. And he's a pretty good Chicken Dancer!

​Stand on Sacred Ground: American Dakota’s New Rug Collection Celebrates Indigenous Artistry​

In Calhoun, Georgia, there’s a modest rug mill making waves with its latest collection. This new line of rugs, called Sacred Ground, has a name that pays homage to Indigenous cultures. Available exclusively through American Dakota rug dealers this Georgia-based mill is not only creating beautiful rugs but also providing a platform for Indian tribal artists to showcase and sell their work. These machine-made masterpieces give buyers a chance to quite literally stand on sacred ground.
