Videos provide knowledge on Native issues
ST. IGNATIUS — The Flathead Reservation Human Rights Coalition, Inc. will sponsor a potluck at 6 p.m. on Wednesday, Oct. 2, at Mission Valley United Methodist Church. This will be followed by the short videos: “Tribal Sovereignty” and “Contemporary Tribal Government,” scheduled to begin at 6:30 p.m. The videos are narrated by Dan Decker, Tribal Attorney, and will be good learning experiences for those seeking knowledge on Native American issues. They are from a series entitled “Stories From a Nation Within”. Our plan is to have a knowledgeable facilitator for the discussion following each film. MVUMC is located at 70715 Highway 93, (top of Post Creek Hill). Call (406) 745-4259 (clbillie), for more information.

Taco feed to benefit DuMontier
ST. IGNATIUS — A benefit Indian taco feed and silent auction will be held at the St. Ignatius Community Center on Saturday, Oct. 12, from 5-8 p.m.
Proceeds will help Christopher DuMontier, 32, a 2000 Two Eagle River graduate and SKC heavy equipment truck operator graduate. DuMontier was involved in a car wreck while working in North Dakota. The life-threatening collision left him paralyzed from the neck down. Proceeds and donations will help cover costs associated with medical care, help provide a ramp for his home and a van with a wheelchair lift. An Indian taco and drink will cost $8 and a slice of Gramma Patty’s Pie will sell for $3, or $4.50 for pie a la mode. The fundraiser includes music and a 50/50 raffle. For further donations, an account is set up at Valley Bank under Christopher DuMontier. A November 5-on-5 basketball tournament benefit is also being planned at SKC.
