I am part Blackfoot but don't live in that area and don't speak any. I live near the Northern Cheyenne reservation, which is in Montana, but I live in north Wyoming. I sold auto parts here and a lot of the natives from the reservations (Cheyenne and Crow) would come in and look for me as I treated them with respect. Because of that I learned a little Cheyenne. Crow is really hard, I never really learned any.

Ja, norske. Jeg er bitte litt rusten skjønt.
