Admiring brave people: #ChrisLaTray #Montana #PoetLaureate after Humanities Council funding canclelled by DC: " going ahead full steam, as scheduled, regardless of whether it is funded or not.

I have other avenues I’m exploring but will do it for free if that is what it takes to keep the wheels rolling. I'm not going to let some petty wannabe despot and his moronic billionaire lackey get in the way of what we are doing. " #artist

Both personal and historical, Becoming Little Shell (Milkweed) is a testament to the power of storytelling, to family and legacy, and to finding home. #Books #ChrisLaTray

Montana Poet Laureate: "Learn a few words in the languages of the people whose stolen lands you are living on, and then use them too. That is a wonderful first step to truly honoring people...I used to be shy about using the “Indian” words I learn. Then Stephen Small Salmon, a Kalispel tribal elder [Flathead Reservation], told an audience I was part of that, “If you know just one word of your Indian language, you say it! You say it with pride!” " #IndigenousLanguage #ChrisLaTray
