Dear Mr. President
Dear Mr. President, Silence, is the very thing the dominant society has told us Native American students to do as we grew into our role in society. I, Jeebi Kwe (Spirit Woman), aka: Sheila Chingwa, am an elder with the Little Traverse Bay Band of Ottawa Indians. I choose to stand up and speak. I no longer will remain silent especially with what is on my mind. For the past two days, I have been praying for the small children at Kampoops Indian school in Canada. After a few days of prayer, I have made the decision to write this letter. This morning, I raised my feather in prayer and asked for my words to be true. Silence no more Mr. President, silence no more.

Don’t Let Anyone or Anything Dim Your Inner Light
"The more light you can turn on the inside of you, the brighter the world you live in will be." I was born with it. I know what was in there. Inside was a light, that is reflected in my smile, and my soon-to-be home to me, love life, family, friends, and my bright future.

The Crochet Gateway
I still own the first crochet hook I have ever worked with. My grandmother had gifted me a matte red, metal, size k/101/2-6 50mm crochet hook at the tender age of 7, one rainy evening as she was watching me. I don't remember why she decided that evening she would teach me to crochet but I will spend the rest of my life being grateful that she did. I carried the ball of mahogany-colored yarn and the black purse with my crochet hook inside that she gave me everywhere for years. I loved it because it smelled like her. Carrying memories of the spearmint flavored lifesavers she always carried and floral perfume she wore. Although I let go of the bag and used all that mahogany-colored yarn, I will always hold that hook close to my heart. I may even pass it on to my daughter later.
