Back to Rosebud

June 15th, 2006 | Comments (3) | Trackbacks (0) |


I’d like to begin this post with a joke Tom told me:

Tom: You know how we know the indians were here first?
Jake: How?
Tom: They had reservations.

Kind of makes me miss the podcast (although there are talks of a summer episode).

On a serious note, I am heading back to Rosebud Indian Reservation for the fourth time in the last year on Saturday. I am going with four other leaders and fifteen high school students to the town of Parmeleee for a week.

The trip will be very much like last year, except this time we have fewer students and we’re not sleeping in a high school gymnasium.

When I think of the extremely poor state of the reservation and the horrible living conditions, it makes me sick. I just pray that our time there positively affects the community and that we bring a feeling of love and compassion.

That joke is awful. Just obscene. I’m disappointed.
