You have to love Indian Women...

 2. For their quick response to guys saying "shht, shht".
 
 3. For any reason to say "Aye!" at the end of a joke.
 
 4. For their ability to cram 20 people in one room at the Super 8 motel during a powwow.
 
 5. For their ability to make commodity food taste like a 4-star culinary feast.
 
 6. For their ability to make those breakfast/lunch/dinner burritos that we all love so much.

 8. For their ability to make even a rez car look good.
 
 9. For the ability to change a tire.
 
 10. For those little hairs that always seem to stick up no matter how much hairspray applied.
 
 11. For their ability to work wonders with bailing wire and, of course, duct tape!!
 
 12. For their ability to keep sweat pants fashionable no matter what occasion.
 
 13. For their ability to make that all-tourney t-shirts and shorts into the one and only Indian  "swimsuit."
 
 14. For their ability to stay out all Friday night at the Indian casino and still hit the early Saturday morning yard sales.

 
 15. For their ability to make Black Lodge miss a beat with her long hair, shady brown eyes and feather light dancing.
 
 16. For their ability to lead all the round dance songs at Gathering's 49.
 
 17. For their tendency to want to bead every  clothing item of the entire family.
 
 18. For their ability to give one "look" at their man to shut him up.
 
 19. For her ability to go the store with those infamous pink rollers in her hair with not one
hint of embarrassment. 
 
20. For their ability to pee on the roadside or  behind any shrub no matter how small.
 
 21. For their ability to somehow get her husband to ask for some of his money out of his own paycheck. 
 
22. And last but not least for their wonderful ability to sneak 10 extra drumsticks of chicken
and biscuits into their Tupperware from the buffet in town to later feed the family.

Free, full MP3 song!
• "Daddy's Arms" (dse/Robert Gass)

These songs are in MP3 Format, at 128k, so it is near CD quality. Please feel free to distribute them as you see fit.  

If you don't have an MP3 player, I'd like to recommend Sonic Foundry's SIREN.  It's free for the download.  Early next year, we'll release a new CD with Siren on it, and with free skins for it. (A skin lets you make the player look any way you want it to look)
