Some of the highlights that I appreciate are all of the wonderful pic tures; being able to receive the calendar before the new year started; hav ing a December 2005, as well as a January 2007 page; the picture of Tribal Elder Nora Kimsey; the inclusion of the Tribe's Vision Statement and the Story of the Tribe and much, much more.
