Raising a family in a tough economic time
Submitted by Christina Good Voice (Bearpaw) on Tue, 2008-04-01 10:50.The rising cost of everything from fuel to a loaf of bread has hit our family pretty hard. We're still doing OK, but we've had to make some adjustments due to the high costs of everyday items. A gallon of milk costs nearly $4 and our 14-month-old son downs two gallons a week. We recently found out we're expecting our fourth child -- who is due in October :) -- and we're already planning and trying to save for the costs associated with a new baby.
Most views in the last week:
- Tell us what you think about the 'Navajobama' T-shirt, and we'll send your comments to the manufacturer—and to the Obama for President campaign. (No profanities, please.)
- A Native American gay wedding ceremony takes place at a Two Spirit gathering in Montana.
- Omission disappoints Native Americans attending the presidential candidate's speech in Wisconsin. Others express concern over Obama's stance on Indian gaming.
- The Native actor’s role on 'Law and Order: SVU' is coming to an end, but he plans to stay busy with an Internet TV show, a book and a new baby.
- Crows wait in line for more than six hours to hear the Democratic presidential candidate. 'Somebody finally recognized us enough to come an extra few hours,' says one tribal member.
