I am Hidatsa and Mandan. Nearing the end of my life and writing about being. 

I dedicate my writing to my brothers and sisters — those who came home from the wars and those who did not. My tribe and I will always remember and honor you. 

“It was deeply a part of Lee's kindness and understanding that man's right to kill himself is inviolable, but sometimes a friend can make it unnecessary” 

― John Steinbeck, Cannery Row”
