Family First
Pickled Herring, Krumkake, and Lutefisk
But, aren’t we more than this?
Culture is “to serve your turn long after they are gone” (IF Rudyard Kipling)
Combining two cultures to make one perfect blend
Native American and Norwegian, what an interesting combination
“Always embrace your culture, and show it off” (Dad Interview)
Crow Indian and Native Norwegian is what I am,
Even though it is a part of me, it is not all of me.
I was born in America, so by default I am an American
However, it is not what I consider myself
I am of all cultures, traditions, and heritages
Discrimination and Prejudice plague our society
When the world is your family, how can you discriminate?
It is always important to remember, “Family is not an important thing. It’s everything” (Michael J. Fox)
