Reader - I'm writing this from the passenger seat somewhere on I-95, with Kelli behind the wheel and about 4,000 miles of jet lag catching up with me.
We just wrapped up an incredible trip celebrating our 30th wedding anniversary and for once,we actually tried to unplug. I still snuck in a little work here and there, but mostly we just enjoyed being present for a milestone 30 years in the making.
Now the overwhelm of everything waiting for me is starting to creep in.
Ready to be home, ready to be back at my desk tomorrow, and ready to get caught up with all of you.
And there's no better way to jump back in than this: this weekend we're live streaming the Prairie Island Tinta Wita Wacipi! If you can't make it to Welch, Minnesota in person, pull up a chair and watch with us โ you can find all the details here: https://calendar.powwows.com/events/prairie-island-tinta-wita-wacipi/โ
PS - I started a brand new free weekly newsletter called This Week Around Indian Country. Every Thursday, I hand-pick 10 news stories from across Indian Country and drop them straight in your inbox. Politics, culture, gaming, events, the stories that matter. It's free, it's weekly, and if you're not already on it, I'll drop a link below. First issue already went out and the response was great.
Joe Big Mountain comes from the Mohawk, Cree & Comanche Nations. He grew up participating in Pow-wows & educational performances - by doing so, he was encouraged by his family to start crafting at a young age and took to quilling. He uses traditional and contemporary techniques to enhance his craft to make each piece unique to his own. He hopes to continue this art and keep traditions alive by teaching his children to carry on a legacy of their own. Big Mountain takes great pride in his artwork, creating heirloom pieces to be passed on for generations.
If you've ever missed a pow wow because you just didn't know about it in time, this is for you.
