Clan Day (Exciting news!)

Today was Clan Day, where people can be adopted into clans and clan members offer give-aways to receive prayer and wishes for wellness and success.

I was adopted into the Ties the Bundle clan! Garla, our principal, adopted me into her family, so now her two sons are my brothers.

In the Crow clan system, you are of your mother's clan and are the child of your father's clan. So I was adopted as a Ties the Bundle and a child of the Big Lodge clan.

When you are adopted, the person traditionally presents the person they are adopting with a gift, usually a blanket, shawl, or piece of jewelry. Garla presented me with this gorgeous bracelet. It's beautiful and every time I wear it I will be reminded of my welcome into the Crow family.


Thanksgiving in Ashland, tomorrow!!
