The rez
        the years 
Where is she and
what happened to her?
   I agree she is not Lumbee
the bastards have been defeated

Hmmm...I'm trying to take this apart to take a whole bite, Matthew...I'm confused. Lumbee, native american? Like that really made me understand.:) I know I should have chosen another to read!:)) Best wishes, Mikki

hmmm, this one I don't quite get. Well, about ESL, I never get a break, Matt. Our school is year round, though we DO get off for a week on fourth of July time and two weeks at Xmas!
