their rights and land taken away from them. When faced with the possibility of not seeing her daughter, she stands by her cultural beliefs and heritage and will not conform to stating her citizenship as either Canadian or American. She is simply Blackfoot, as demonstrated through the following: "It would have been easier if my mother had just said "Canadian" and been done with it, but I could see she wasn't going to do that" (804).

t-ball games, dance recitals, and community plays, at the end of the school year, road trips, and everyone’s very best days, Rupe’s is ready to welcome you in with friendly smiles and the delicious smell of french fries and milkshakes.

The full-time employees were responsible for facilitating treatment groups, taking turns doing intakes, assessments, and treatment plans. There was an alternating schedule for on-call designated examiners, and they each took a turn. AMH contracts with the Bannock County jail…

Long ago there was a village in plains that was very happy and kind. They were from the Blackfoot tribe in the plains and they were very grateful for everything they had, and they thought that they were very lucky. Whenever anyone from the village killed an animal they thanked the animal for it’s kindness and they also thanked it for giving them food. And they were also very well protected because their leader Jeyba was the strongest man in the plains, Jeyba was tall, he had black hair, black…
