Me and the babies in our tipi at the summer powwow. This tipi has been in my family since before I was born and has been a place I have called home. My daughter and my friend and her baby, in this picture, spent the weekend in our tipi which is a new experience for my daughter. Sometimes I feel guilty because my culture or lifestyle has changed since I had her but then I assure myself that we are modern day Natives; but I will always honor my grandmother and her traditional values.
