Native American Group!
We have a group here in Sac that comes to our hotel and it's natives for Native American Health Care. I'm Oglala-Lakota and a far, far way from 'home'. The people up here are usually Miwok, chill people, but cheap and a tad destructive (Smoke in rooms occasionally). They usually take over our banquet rooms and they're steady, so we forgive a little for that.
We had a new woman here, and she heard I was NA, and she asked my tribe. I told her I was Oglala (It's a tribal thing, you get specific first, then less). She was all, "Oh! You're Lah-koh-tah!"
I was; XD She pronounced it right!!!!
She went off about how her grandson is Lakota and gets all stern and tells her "That's not the Lakota way!" and gets all serious and cute. We started talking about fry bread, and the porcupine necklace my father gave me on my last B-day.
A guy came up and broke up my nice talk, I quoted him $10 over and CC only. He left. :P for disturbing my happy!
I don't get to feel NA very often since I'm a city girl. I love my little moments like this though...
