Boozhoo (hello), my name is Ken, I am a disabled Ojibwe artist from northern Wisconsin. I am writing this post because I am having a hard time making ends meet and any donations I could possibly receive at this time would be greatly appreciated. Recent events have left my bank account depleted and my cupboards bare, I have some food but it will not last and I still do not know how I will cover all the utility bills.
I do have PayPal, that is really the best way to donate at this time, the email I use for that is: baapimakwa@gmail.com, or you can click here.
Miigwech (thank you) everyone. Working hard to at least get caught up and still coming up short, every little bit helps.
Miigwech all, still trying to plan a big shopping trip, there’s better food choices and prices if I can get to Duluth, MN, this means 4hrs of travel and a need for gas money and most likely having to buy a meal for my driver. Though this seems like a lot for just food shopping it makes sense as local options, especially on the reservation, or the tourist trap of a town next to it, include far more expensive and less healthy options. Any help is greatly appreciated, hoping to get all stocked up before the first big snowfall.
Olivia Lone Bear, Native American woman and mother of five, has gone missing in the oil fields of North Dakota. We spoke with her brother, Matthew Lone Bear, who is part of a daily search to look for his sister since she went missing on October 25th in New Town, North Dakota. He is calling for more support from local authorities:
“She was outgoing, and yeah, she liked to hang out at the casinos and bars, and she also really cared for her children. …
We do still need water support. We do need people on the ground, definitely, because the Fort Berthold reservation is… just about a million acres. So that’s a lot of ground to cover. The more people we can get in before the snow falls and before the lake freezes—we want to get as much done as possible before then.”
I was originally thinking of throwing together some quick Italian style pasta with half a can of tuna left over from a sandwich yesterday. And about a quarter of a pack of pasta for one hungry person.
But, then I decided to try a little different flavor instead, and it turned out great. Even if I did slosh more soy sauce into the pan than I meant to, so it turned out a tad salty even for me 😒 A little more green onion next time too, but the results were still really good for the amount of effort and ingredients involved.
(The garnish of nori and sesame on top added a really nice touch, btw, so I wouldn’t recommend skipping that unless you really hate one or both of them. Tasted good before, but better with. No ready-made furikake here, but thankfully toasted sesame and some nori sheets lurking in the cabinet for a quick snip job. With enough left cut up from one sheet for at least another dish, which should come in handy.)
