Last Day at Blackfeet Native American Reservation



From Sister Luke:

Today is our final day here on the reservation. We will tour Glacier Park which is a 40 minute drive. The mountains are absolutely gorgeous.  

We finished all the repairs that Brother Ray needed to have done. We also built two handicap ramps in this area. One ramp for the bunkhouse and the other for his home. 

Brother Ray was diagnosed with Parkinson's Disease, but he tries not to let that slow him down. 

Yesterday, we had an opportunity to go into the town of Browning, which is the capital of the Blackfeet Nation. It is rather desolate because of the high rate of unemployment. 

We board the train tomorrow morning and travel back to Louisville, Ky.
