I'm interested in everything...lol... but more specifically... I enjoy doing beadwork and generally making stuff with my hands. Love to read and watch movies (at home... I'm kinda anti-social but in a very friendly way)... if you haven't figured it out yet, my big passion is music. I believe in being of service... I am a participant in the Transform Columbus Day activities (there's nothing like being hand-cuffed to your best friend to make you really dig your heels in about an issue) and volunteer with the Native Inmates group at our local Fed. prison. Was at one time an ICWA (Indian Child Welfare Act) foster mom and create a lot of flyers to help promote local NDN organizations.
Even tho I am mixed blood Anishinaabe, I go to Lakota sweats (cuz there just aren't too many Naabe's around these parts) and am hunka'd into a Lakota family from Pine Ridge.

Who I'd like to meet: I love to connect with NDN musicians and give them encouragement and a little leg up with some national air time!
I use myspace mostly to network with musicians, artists and political renegades ... but hey... it's all the same thing really.
