Comments |
"Millie gave us a moving, personal account of her becoming aware of her Native American |
|
ancestry, some history of the Native American peoples in this country, and current projects they are |
|
working on, such as their eRez fund (the reasons for which will shock you) and their scholarship fund. |
|
An excellent presentation and very highly recommended. You will be moved to action." |

Comments |
Major Dirghalli was an excellent speaker. He discussed his career, the opportunities the military offered him, |
|
and how men in uniform were perceived during WWII and how they are generally perceived by the public |
|
now. He showed the human side of the men in uniform, and how it has helped him in his civilian work as a |
|
high school teacher today. It was a very informative presentation. |
