You have to love Indian Women...

1. ...for their ability to play rez ball , take care of 20 kids, and manage to make sandwiches at the same time when at a basketball tournament.

2. ...for their quick response to guys saying "shht, shht".

3. ...for any reason to say "Aye!" at the end of a joke.

4. ...for their ability to cram 20 people in one room at the Super 8 motel during a powwow.

5. ...for their ability to make commodity food taste like a 4-star culinary feast.

6. ...for their ability to make those breakfast/lunch/dinner burritos that we all love so much.

7. ...for their ability to expertly point with their lips at that fine grass dancer with the long braids.

8. ...for their ability to make a rez car look good.

9. ...for their ability to change a tire.

10. ...for those little hairs that always seem to stick up no matter how much hairspray applied.

11. ...for their ability to work wonders with bailing wire and, of course, duct tape!!

12. ...for their ability to keep sweat pants fashionable no matter what occasion.

13. ...for their ability to make that all-tourney t-shirt and shorts into the one and only Indian "swimsuit."

15. ...for their ability to make Black Lodge miss a beat with her long hair, shady brown eyes, and feather light dancing.

16. ...for their ability to lead all the round dance songs at the Gathering's 49.

17. ...for their tendency to want to bead every clothing item of the entire family.

18. ...for their ability to give one "look" at their man to shut him up.

19. ...for her ability to go the store with those infamous pink rollers in her hair with not one hint of embarrassment. shrub no matter how small.

20. ...for their ability to somehow get her husband to ask for some of his money out of his own paycheck.

21. ...and last but not least for their wonderful ability to sneak 10 extra drumsticks of chicken and biscuits into their Tupperware from the buffet in town to later feed the family.
