It seems that nothing good is going on out here in Rocky Boy.
But I am here to tell you that is just not true.
There are way more good going on out here than there is bad, way more.
I have worked out here for 21 years now, and I consider many of these people my brothers, sisters and grandchildren.
The foundations of Rocky Boy are firm, they are good, they are strong. The culture, the language, the traditions are good.
The spiritual foundations, whether they be Catholic, Lutheran, Traditional Chippewa or Cree, or what ever else there is, or various combinations of these, show very deep spiritual roots.
The Chippewa Cree people will endure; they will overcome this time of difficulty, just like they overcame the struggles, the starvation, the homelessness of nearly 100 years ago.
Rocky Boy's Indian Reservation is a beautiful place, it is a good place, despite what we hear in the news.
Let me repeat many of these people are my friends, my relatives. I stand by them! and I will pray for them.

Right on Mr. Vandeberg, There is good out here, the people, the land are awesome, just ask anyone new that comes here. We are a generous and forgiving people, this is the way we all been brought up from the ones that are not here on this Mother Earth anymore. And we will survive thru it all. But Bottom Line... The thieving and bribery people need to pay. That's the countries LAW isn't It!!
