1. Gladdue!
   Give me my ceremonial tobacco!

   1. That’s racist sarcasm. Off to the healing lodge with you! And put your mask back on.

2. If they don’t believe you’re an Indian you can easily convince them by singing all the music from every tribe across two entire countries.
   At the reception party (they’ll call it a “pow wow”) don’t shy away from the Bald Eagle canapaes, if you suspect they still may have an eye on you.

   ;^)

3. Another idea is to self-identify as a woman, in order to get into a women’s prison.

   1. That option is only available to rapists.

4. “Escapes from healing lodges represent a challenge for residents, staff and community alike.”
   As usual, no mention of victims.

5. As one has to be a dues paying member of the Blacklock tribe to read the article I googled ‘Federal healing lodges’ instead. I ain’t impressed.

   1. Jim
      What’s with the grousing? If you want to read Blacklock you have to pay. If you don’t want it,
      no problem. It’s not like the cbc where you pay wheather you want it or not

      1. That would be a good point, but Alaskans don’t pay for the CBC. Canadians do.

         That said I wasn’t sure whether Jim’s comment about “I ain’t impressed” was regarding the publicly available info on “federal healing lodges” or a link to a pay-for-full-content site. I choose to believe it’s the former, because I believe that intellectual property (and getting paid for work) is vital to Western Civilization (such as it is).

         Speaking of which, when’s the last time you bought a bottle of wine for our gracious hostess? No need for anyone to answer publicly, just consider whether you think that this site is worth supporting, then act appropriately when you have the means/chance.

6. What’s the big deal?

   Us Indians go where the Gitchi-Manitou steers us.

7. Going to college was a real challenge and adventure for me. I gathered all my determination and energy to successfully get through this stage. Preparing for exams, writing an essay, waiting for the results – every stage was filled with tension and hope. Finally, the moment came when I knew that my effort had been rewarded. A sense of pride and joy filled me, realizing that I had achieved this goal. It was an important step forward towards my academic and professional dreams.

   1. “Today, on Non-Sequitor, we are featuring the story of Arnol…. SQUIRREL!”

8. I self identify as a Grey Academy Non Disclosure Agreement.

   Can’t touch this.

9. 70% of escapees.

   Is that disproportionate compared to percentage of population in all similar level of security facilities?

10. Bad chugs, bad chugs, whatcha gonna do? Whatcha gonna do when dey come for you….

11. Question. Why would they want to escape from the “lodges”?

    1. Answer : To cash their cheques.
