Saginaw Grant is a wise elder, the wisdom and care that he shared with us today warmed my heart. Today was the first time that I met him, but he spoke to us as if we had known him forever. He wanted to inspire us and that is exactly what he did. I tried to listen to every word that he spoke, and I loved hearing his stories. I even got to chat with him after dinner. I talked to him about the Native American Church and if he knew my grandfather Alfred Driver. He told me that he traveled a lot up to Montana for meetings throughout his childhood and his adult life. I will definitely cherish everything he shared with us and I hope to see him again someday.
Cool! I think it is important for us young ones to build and maintain connections with our Elders 🙂
