2. “But for me, what the FFA did, they had all these speech competitions
“But for me, what the FFA did, they had all these speech competitions. Parliamentary procedure contests, speech, debate…so the most valuable part of the FFA for me was all that. I learned how to do public speaking because of the FFA. It was less about the pigs...and more about the puns.”

While at Michigan State University, I had the opportunity to hear Sherman Alexie speak. I went to Pow Wows and watched “Smoke Signals” at a Native American film festival. I fell in love with his work.

He left the reservation to attend school and was the president of the FFA at Reardon High School. He was the only Native student in his school. He went on to Gonzaga and then Washington State University.
