The Importance of Elders with Dusty Olson

Well I like you know well like I said there and even ourselves I mean we are the controllers our own destinies we I mean we control our own fate I got into this how I got into the school system was actually a security guard there was a fight that broke out in partial and we don’t have fights maybe squabbles and stuff but this was a full fight and this was years ago and I ended up being a security guard for three months which I just sat there it was like him you know this out there and just watch the kids go in and out of the classroom that was basically that was my job so the next the next comer meeting and he had enough all day they said well absenteeism was a big thing so they said well you know were you gonna get so why I basically I’m from partial so I went and I they said well that guy knows everybody so that’s kind of how I got my foot in the door and I worked my way up to where I’m at so I hold a pretty big position in our partial it’s just it’s but it’s just I don’t know it’s I think our own I think our answers rely on are all the older people that are still that are still living because of these guys do not have the answers to you know their own questions that Dave they should ask them as if our own parents can answer that I if I have I have questions I’ll call him because I know he’s a pretty knowledgeable guy always find somebody oh I hope I will find the answer it’s just an it’s not gonna be my own age or you know it probably was somebody older because my parents are gone now and my mother’s gone so it’s you know it’s you know I know she said well I don’t know I don’t know I’ll go ask her so she’ll chill for refer me on so I’m still doing the same thing right now so I just I think our own elders have a lot of answers I like I said I kind of think about them cuz then we made a lot of them they grow up in boarding schools you know whatever talked to be quiet you know they their languages were you know they were you know where they were hushed you know and I got their stories about my own my mom’s brother you know when he was in school down south dakota all the for brethren people would you don’t they would be in a school and it said well I don’t have to answer that I’ll go ask him and I have my brother at least called I stalk with gilsu Mandan and he said the idea is to call your own your brother Norman he’s call him ghost man he said he was the oldest of all of us but they’d say well go ask him so that’s kind of now but now I see why they’d ask him cuz he was a pretty Stern guy he was a you know it’d get his licks in you know and humid humor but you know he’s it was a pretty straightforward guy but yeah I think a lot of are the answers rely on our own people it’s just you know just somewhere to bring them out I just wish that out somebody was around like how these guys these guys got a these guys got out I got a little edge over me because they think it you know have this class as a curriculum for us you know we have to fight for our curriculum so it’s I think this is what you guys do what’s up it’s big and I hope I hope our school can come to an understanding where this needs to be put into curriculum it needs to be set forth and just standardized where it’s you know you will do this and I hope the best of luck and I know you’ll see me somewhere down there live because we usually run into each other well thank you
