I didn't want to be Indian
I felt like I was being punished for something I didn't do.
All I could think of was I just wanted to be away from it.

Messing around.

Nobody can step on you
Once you learn
What you're house is,

and where you come from.

You know I try to keep it traditional as posable.
The Vietnamese
knocked off the persian rug design,
and we had the Chilkat Blanket designe woven i that.
So it's kind of like a knock off of a knock off.
Finely got my feather!
