Lipson, M.D., 20162016.46.1.3 © Wendy Red Star, she mentions her father is on the other line because a new baby horse has been born and he’s really excited about it. “He's still living on the reservation and only gets cell reception in one place,” she tells me. I tell her I don’t mind the interruption and suggest she take the call.
Through that research, I realized that Bozeman was actually Crow country, which is about three to four hours away from the current reservation. I felt a sense of pride knowing this and wanted to share it with the Bozeman community and the school. So, I set up tipis around campus, but some of the ones I set up were vandalized and knocked down so I set up several on the 50 yard line of the football field.
