To some people, it may just be a building, but to many, it holds memories. Memories of a first job, first trip driving by yourself to the doctor, the place where you first found out you were expecting, being sworn in as a Tribal Council Member, getting to cut the ribbon as a Tribal Princess, meeting to discuss your future with the tribe after graduating college, and to some, maybe last time you saw a member of the community or loved one before they passed away.
This building holds many memories for many people, and even though the building will no longer be a standing landmark, the memories that each of us have made within in its walls, will serve as a reminder of the beginning of our Tribe, and careers, and will last longer than its structure has.
While I am sad to see it go, I smile as I think of how far we have made it as a Tribe, that we are fortunate enough to be able at goodbye to a piece of our past, as we plan to rebuild something lasting for our future.
