I worked on single leg strengthening every day, all summer. I finally got the okay to play volleyball by the…

Mountains on the Idaho Montana border, through Yellowstone National Park, then north through Montana. After trying to find aid from two other tribes that they were friendly with, the Crows and the Flatheads, they planned on meeting up with the Hunkpapa Sioux Chief, Sitting Bull after crossing the border to Canada.
