1999 Territorial

Git all yer fooferah t'gether, boys. There's big doin's gonna happen up yonder at Fawn Creek (east of Libby). Dig yer plews outa yer cache, put yer best buckskins on & head up ta Kutenai country. Right after Pow Wow you'd best shake a leg, cuz Territorial is June 23-25.

It's gonna cost ya some to join the revelry, 'bout thirty frog skins ($30.00) & I'm sure there'll be plenty chance to git yer plews traded for supplies, what with the season gettin' well under way by that time. And if ya want the medalion what proves you made it there, its another thirty frogs. But territorial doesn't make it this way too often. You might just consider that medalion.
We got us a special guest comin' all way from Idaho territory with some inspirational speakin' to settle yer soul & raise yer spirits. The Rev Wayne Bulher, district superintendent of Idaho will be the speaker this year. (So Watchman & Bushwacker, you best behaves yerselves whiles the gent's talkin'.)

Oh! I need ta mention that ya need ta git yer registration in by May 1st. Forms are included inside this issue of the newsletter. If'n ya need an extra, Bushwacker, Watchman or myself have 'em fer the askin'.

Also, I hear tell there's a couple ya been wearin yer medicine bags 'bout yer necks fer Wilderness. (If ya haven't been, time's awastin'.) The Wilderness vigil will be June 22.

That's all I gots ta say on the matter now 'cept I 'spect to git some real good stories from ya'll goin' so's I can share 'em with the members that didn't gitta go. (All two of us, I hopes.)
