A MEMORIAL HOLIDAY WEEKEND ADVENTURE
FROM ONE OF OUR CITIZENS
Osiyo From The White Trash Six Star Resort
Is was a wonderful and productive Memorial Holiday!
We started Friday off with framing my soon-to-be sunroom. Followed by a fun time of snake shooting plus lessons in sweat ethics and stories and lies a plenty. All of this topped of by a dinner of 1/3 to 1/2 pound jumbo burgers, fries, and fresh fruit. A good night's rest was welcomed. Rain, wind, thunder and a light show serenaded us to sleep.
Saturday was relaxing, sunny, and more snake hunting.
Folks came from Tulsa, Osceola, and Clinton to work on tribal business. The main attraction of more food, a potluck. The menu included friend chicken, taters and pan gravy, glazed carrots, beverages, Rolaids and plenty of "anti-covid" hugs and kisses and laughs. All these activities were followed by a conference call with our awesome Chief Grey Elk. Some folks left for home in the evening to finish up chores after a busy afternoon filled with more laughs and lies. It was a good and much needed tribal family time. There is nothing like it!
Sunday brought more discussion about the 2021 rescheduling of our POW WOW and events to come. Our country-living experiences for Sunday included a dock burning, more snake hunting, chicken feeding, wasp spraying, barbequing, a dog and cat petting, food, and more food.
My thanks to all who came and participated in this tribal work weekend. It was truly a blessing to see you all.
After all the gifts of food and more food, I'm planning a spectator sporting event of sceptic tank pumping. All are invited. Special thanks to Deputy Chief Starr Tawny Eagle for the new "Gold Standard" gift of toilet paper, and more food!
Also, I thank Tony Running Wolf and his lovely wife Michelle for hours of backbreaking labor and a storm door for the kitchen, steaks, and more food. Thanks and love to Jane Buffalo Sister for food and that sinful cake, plus unafraid hugs.
Thanks to the talkative, side-splitting prankster Randy Pierson and our precious shy Teresa for salads and baked beans (more food) and hugs. Thank you all for the polling and input and meaningful discussion, and to Chief Grey Elk for listening.
Lies, stories, jokes and help are much appreciated. I love you all.
You will get my bill for this exciting country living experience. Payment due by the 15th of the month.

Christmas Party, December 2019
In 1990, President George H. W. Bush approved a joint resolution designating November as "National American Indian Heritage Month." Since that time, Native Americans have used this commemorative month as a platform to share our culture, traditions, music, crafts, food, dance and ways of life.
This year, we ask that you express our impressive history of being strong warriors…survivors…leaders…hunters and gatherers with your community, friends and neighbors.
We may all look differently but we share the same pride, love, and respect for our brothers and sisters. Let’s build bridges of understanding and friendship across the nation.
We are Northern Cherokee!
