One thing that we talked about was after he asked me if I hunt or fish. I said that I fish and he asked if I had ever fished the lake that his home reservation is named for.
I told him that I was informed that I really shouldn’t if I’m not with some local First Nations people, that I would get run off.
He agreed that has happened, but stated that it is the “Rezzed out “ ones who do that. I had never heard that term before and asked what he meant. He said that there’s a number of his people who essentially never leave the rez and never see the outside world. They stick around and make life harder for everyone else there. I thought about that while driving home and I understand how that could play out.
Anyway as I dropped him off I made sure to give him his money back as I’m sure he would need it. I was going to town already and he made the drive more enjoyable.
Thanks for the responses folks.

If it’s hot, wet and sticky and it’s not yours, don’t touch it!
