Santee Sioux on the river

The river flowed softly all night and the air was hot and humid.  The Santee Sioux Nation is close to Yankton Sioux Nation so we climbed into the car to check out the reservation.  It had a great big gas station with lots of specials and a cool bingo hall.  The view from the road was spectacular.  Darn, we missed the wacipi.  Nebraska has hills compared to the flat lands of Southwestern Minnesota.  Kari is still wondering if she can continue to collect spoons from Mc Donalds.  The lady behind the counter knew Princella Parker.  Small world she laughed.  AIJI was  tons of fun.  Yankt
