What does it take?
a swim around the lake
cookies to bake
no, it takes whatever we make
it take. Training is fun
I know that for sure Hon
Getting together with all

Note: Most of the material presented in the Native American curriculum training is not new material to the trainers, who have grown up in the culture. However much of the material is not taught in school. So people in the audience will often get upset not with the trainers but rather with the country and the school system.
