The End

Cheating a little

Idea, organization, and all-around coolness the brainchild of Lotus.

These really look much better if you click for the larger version.

I'm cheating a little bit with this weeks' winners. I did not take these photos, nor were they taken in the last week - though they are all fairly recent. I have written a few times about being Indian (here, here, and here) and most of my readers have seemed pretty interested. A dear cousin of mine is running for a seat on our tribal council. He took these pictures as a way to show things that need to be fixed and things that are signs of life on our reservation. I have nothing but the most deep-seated pride and admiration for him and the things he wants to accomplish. I desperately hope he wins because it is time for the people of our generation to start working to make the changes we need to make from the inside out. I hope you enjoy these pictures and forgive me for cheating. :) (Also accept my apologies for not visiting other weekly winners lately...I vow to be a better blog buddy!)

A bullet-riddled sign

A lonely court

Would you live here?

Modern American Third World

What kind of playground do your children have?

Proud to serve a country that hasn't always served us

If he wins, change will start here

We need wellness

Investing in the real future

Hands that will heal

From the inside out

Desperately needed

RESPECT

Spirituality

...and the home of the brave.

BLING!

(Yeah I know it's the wrong finger - getting it re-sized this week.)
