Our Dance

In this short story, "Our Dance," two cousins (one high spirited and the other too serious) receive a lump sum of money from the Kiowa Tribe of Oklahoma. Journey with these young men as they take missteps into adulthood and learn in both comical and cringing ways. As one of the cousins describe, "On two different days, two months apart, but we did it almost the same way." From the follies of "per caps gone by," you'll laugh at and along with these young men as you get to know Kiowa and Comanche people in their community. This hilarious short story will not only have you laughing out-loud but you'll walk away with an immense amount of admiration for the strength that permeates throughout tribal communities.
