Dear Standingbear, Do you live on or near the reservation in NC? Do you know John Bullet Standingdeer, the one who ran recently for tribal council (or was it for presidency)? If you do, tell him I still have a picture of him as the Happy Warrior that I took at a powwow at Cherokee about 10-11 years ago. I also met a friend of his named, I think, Leonard S---------(?), who lives in Raleigh (where I live) and makes silver jewelry. I was the short, dumpling of a woman with a camera. When I asked him if he had made his wonderful costume, he told me with his best noble savage straight face that he had to "because I have no woman to do it for me." I nearly fell on the ground laughing, and that broke the ice. He let me follow me around for a while and told me all about his family and the significance of his costume. I still smile when I think about that afternoon. There's no reason he would necessarily remember me, but he made a strong impression on me, enough so that I checked on the election results. I'm sorry he lost!
