That man from National Geographic Who was that man with cameras all over him? And who was that three-legged friend of his? Word-of-mouth communcation has probably already in formed IJtiost everyone that National Geographic Magazirft"? was recently f epsented $t' the r"csetVatiorT bf David Bdyer! and his trusty tripod. But during the several months that he spent becoming acquainted with the reservation community, there are some people who never came to know the man or his work. One could spot the photographerwriter enthusiastically engaged in most any kind of activity - from formal interviews to friendly visits in private homes, from powwows to round ups. While there are bound to be events or personalities that he was not able to experience, Boyer got a good cross-section, with the help of some newly made friends. Rockin' 4-H offers work and fun In line with expressed goals, members of the Rockin' 4-H Club are learning about range management and leadership -and having fun doing it. Leader Jeff Sanders and Coordinator Clint Jacks insist that learning by doing is best. Although the kids pay for their knowledge with sweat and long hours, they seem to be happy with the skills and spirit of cooperation they've acquired. It's haying season now and the club is proud to explain that for the first time they have enough hay so that the third cut ting can be sold. Improved management has made the club's efforts more efficient and productive recently. A family-oriented approach for the work details has made , work days more pleasant and better attended..
