The Eagle Feather

On Wednesday Urban Native Homes Inc. hosted a luncheon honoring the Eagle Feather and what it symbolizes in our Native culture.  Guest speaker Walter Cooke did an excellent presentation and I got the opportunity to chat with him. Even though we tenants received an open invitation I had not idea what to expect when I walked in the community room most in attendance were the UNH’s employees and only 8 tenants showed up.

Awkward moment – When Walter signaled the Director to sit at our table I could tell by her body language she didn’t want to but reluctantly sat down anyway.  Can you imagine Tony King & the UNH’s Director sitting and dining at the same table, sort of like The Iron Lady sits with Chief Crazy Horse. :D
*It should be noted according to the history books Chief Crazy Horse was a handsome man.*  ;)

Funny moments – Standing in the buffet line I decided to tease the computer guy which in turn made Tammy T. laugh.  Charles was a good host in offering us what beverages were available I said “I’ll have a run & coke on the rocks” ;) but knew I was shit out of luck so I asked for coffee. :)

It was nice that staff member Teresa offered to serve us and honorable mention goes to Tracy the receptionist for the fish cakes.  In the end I shook Mr. Cooke’s hand and said goodbye.  The only piss off  is when new tenant Deb Chrysler who sat beside me said a disparaging remark about my son.....which I chose to ignore.
