I spent a fair amount of time in the car with my grandson yesterday.
We talked about a lot of things.
Mostly, about how we have some hard times ahead. He is afraid. I gave him all the reasons why I believe we, or at least his generation, will see better times again. I sincerely believe that will happen.
I remember talking to my mother about living on the reservation, going to Indian boarding school, and surviving the great depression.
She said that they survived by making do.
When she left boarding school she had three sets of clothes and a Baby Ben alarm clock. Two years later she bought her first house at a tax auction.
I told my grandson that together we can do this and that I will pass on everything I know.
Tuesday, he is coming out to help me make some better protest signs, and to learn how to use a sewing machine to patch his jeans. I will do my best to teach the kids how to make do.
