We visited the Sault Tribe tonight and met Cecil - who works as a spokesperson for this part of the Ojibwa Nation. One part of his job includes "repatriation" of native people, which involves, among other things, accepting the bones of ancestors from ancient burial sites that have been disturbed by construction and excavation projects. The tribe is preparing to host a Pow Wow and one of our crews worked to help prepare the camp grounds located in the tribal territory. We had a cookout there this evening. Cecil explained many of the customs of his people and "drummed" and sang for us.

Hey Annie, this is Kate. I miss you. It is FUN being an only child. Louise keeps coming into your room and wonders where you are. Dad has been tucking her in every night! See you on Saturday.
Have a great time.
Love you to the moon and back!
Your favorite sister,
Cookie Kate
