OPINIONS ᏃᎵᏍᎬᎢ
COMMENTARY: Order in the Court
Silence can be deceptive. If you are sitting in a courtroom, like I was last week, you can get the feeling that justice is delivered at a snail’s pace.
COMMENTARY: “My Truth”
I was listening to a recent session of Tribal Council in which it was stated that the person speaking was there to tell “my truth”. The inference from that statement (my opinion only) is that truth is situational. And I think many people believe that either truth depends on viewpoint or that truth can be different for anyone and everyone.
COMMENTARY: It’s getting better all the time
“I’ve got to admit it’s getting better, A little better all the time.”
