July 1999

Me In Butte,
Montana
What a magical, yet busy year this has been-- this year before the turning of the century. Did you feel it too? Or was it just me? Didn't this year seem... well, busy?... This year marked the start of the Blackfeet Nation H.E.L.P. Learning Center which I have helped to bring into being. Plus, there were so many things to do: a new book to write; a fundraiser to organize; the Blackfeet Days pow-wow to attend; the big Grand Opening of the Blackfeet literacy project on the rez itself; a Navajo fundraiser to support as well as the hostessing of two wonderful Navajo gentlemen who wanted to tour our literacy project. Yet into the midst of all this activity, I was determined to throw a booksigning tour, in order that my newest book, NIGHT THUNDER'S BRIDE be properly promoted. And so it was that on a bright, sunny day in July, my husband, Paul, and I set out to Montana; there, to do some booksignings, plus visit the Blackfeet rez-- even to combine a visit to each reservation in Montana, seeking out those people concerned with literacy. |

While on the reservation, Toni Running
Fisher took us on a horseback tour into the Glacier Mountains. She even
managed to get me to go fishing, where I was much happier if the fish didn't
bite. The lake where she took us, by the way, was incredibly beautiful.
The pictures you see here don't do it justice. Set in the middle of nowhere,
off in the distance was a herd of horses.
Beautiful scenery surrounds our ride
