The Day the Watertower Froze

“Now and then a spirit crosses the birth of an individual and it sets the path for that person’s life (Pete John Humphrey). David’s life has moved down an interesting path. His family contains that Indian Spirit to provide guidance for his soul. David has taken his time to record a piece of history of the Mille Lacs Band of Ojibwe. His effort to record this history and additional history of the Mille Lacs Band will establish a great reference of events that occurred during his time at Mille Lacs. He has given us those internal thoughts of a tribal person dealing with two cultures: that of the dominate culture and that of the tribal culture. David’s ability to express how he learned tribal culture and teach his background in tribal culture through his experiences. David’s insight into his life will provide guidance and understanding in how to live your life. It has been great having David as a friend and rewarding to work with him as colleague.” ~Megwitch Don Wedll
