South Dakota Web Roundup - April 6

Apr 6, 2012

By Laura Johnson

I was reading and listening to some short stories by Red Cloud Indian School students about the places and people they valued, and it sparked off thoughts of who we admire, and the people we want to be. Jason Salamun has been blogging about what it takes to be a real man on his site, Good Sirs. “Hallmarks of a Hero” is a good starting point. Salamun puts family first, as does Amy Kirk with her supper table traditions. Dana Lone Hill of Sioux Falls believes “we learn everything at the feet of our elders.” As someone who studied with her grandmothers for years, I agree wholeheartedly.

That’s what I have for you this Easter weekend. I hope yours is a splendid one, spent surrounded by people you love.
