About the Book

A collection of my blog posts written from 2008 through 2012. These are posts about life in general, life on the "rez" and random thoughts that I felt would be of interest to future generations of my family. The blog was born of my interest in genealogy and wanting to know a bit more about my ancestors than what is written in the few records we have.
