Thursday morning the volunteers awoke again to the tunes from the Native American CD Dream Catcher. I find the music to be very soothing and relaxing, others might disagree. Today I was apart of the tour group that visited the reservation’s college, a private catholic school, the Singing Horse trading post, and the delicious Bette’s Kitchen. Before our departure we had been warned to prepare ourselves for the chilly weather. Luckily, the weather was relatively nice and became a little windy towards the end.
The highlight of my day was eating the Buffalo Burger at Bette’s Kitchen. I am known to be a picky eater. Therefore, when Ted, the Re-Member director broadcasted the menu, I was rather worried if I would eat at all. However, Joanna nicely suggested to try the buffalo burger and declared that I would love it and wouldn’t even notice the difference. Fortunately, Joanna was entirely correct. I loved it! It was very tasty and to top it all off, Bette’s chocolate cake was to die for; this coming from someone with a huge sweet tooth and takes her chocolate seriously.
The tour was not a disappointment either. It was extremely informational. The Oglala Lakota College tour was very enlightening and the photographs of Wounded Knee seemed to provide tangible evidence of history. To add, the staff members like Ted, Joe, Mike, and Brian made the workdays and tour fun and interesting. The overall trip was a great experience.
