Heck yes I’d LOVE to apply for your store’s credit card. Let’s go through the entire process now, while the shoppers in line behind me fantasize about my brutal murder.
We miss you, Robin.

I’m so proud to have been a part of this film and the uplifting strength, wisdom, and love of Mother Earth and all creation that is displayed in the relatively unknown story of the Lakota, Nakota, and Dakota people’s history.
