plans for pow wow

Well the plans for pow wow are in sorta high pace, it won't be as elaborate as usual but a lot of paper and a lot of parts and examples.  I want to do more by hand, real hand. I will have two victims to corrupt my great nephews.  We are going to camp with the "Indians at the Pow Wow" and if you can't behave and I cannot trust you to behave....you won't go. 
I had a case of perfect timing.  I phoned in the middle of one of those major dressing downs that define a child's upbringing and basically said if they can't behave for the parents...not going to get to sleep in the middle of the teepees in my "little blue car".  Lots of sleeping bags, pillows, and Muskol
and we should be fine a four and a six year old boys. I raised four boys, I do boys great....they are too little for sling shots, but there if I take the three boys my nephew of the heart will be there as well and pick up what we need for crafts and fun....bubbles with hula hoops anyone....
I  want to take four miniature pallets out with colored print outs as to what pallets can become. With only hand tools, why do we always need power, why can we not do things by hand.....It may not be fancy but I think it's hand tools, parts, paper and the corruption of minors...and then I got an invite to convergence...to hang out with the kids.

the hand that rocks the cradle shapes the world. 

the worst food deserts are those that exist within first nations communities.

Naheed Nemshi has said that we all need to do three things to make our world a better place
