Today we began a trip, leaving Minneapolis at 7:00am, visiting an Ojibwe reservation where they told us a little about their history, customs and struggles to survive. We learned that their first university graduate was in 1975. This tribe does not discriminate against women. In fact, their president is a woman. Before 1990, it was a very poor community. Their government budget was 1.5 million dollars and now it is 30 million dollars. They had various failed businesses but progress began with the establishment of two casinos in Minnesota.

	Then we visited Lake Mille Lacs. It is huge and full of ice and one of those places where you can appreciate this world. One of the most important cities in Minnesota is Duluth. We also visited Lake Superior which is the biggest lake in the world. Later we also visited Gooseberry Falls which is very pretty.

(Comment from Mindy):By the time we got to Gooseberry, the rain had turned to snow. The delegates were able to experience a bit of what winter feels like-- especially when they didn't have the right clothes or shoes for it. (Comment from Mary Beth) Those TNII'ers really know how to have a good time! We got to share a little bit of what we call winter with our buddies from TNII. We "enjoyed" Lake Superior and Gooseberry Falls through the pouring rain/sleet and gale force winds-- the kind that sent the van careening from lane to lane. Everyone loved it!

The Sister Parish Committees of SJA and TNII hope you can attend as many events during the delegation as possible.
