Thomas Builds-the-Fire closed his eyes and told this storyI remember when I had this dream that told me to go to Spokane to stand by the falls in the middle of the city and wait for a sign. I knew I had to go there but I didnt have a car. Didnt have a license. I was only thirteen. So I walked all the way took me all day and I finally made it to the falls. I stood there for an hour waiting. Then your dad came walking up. What the hell are you doing here He asked me. I said waiting for a vision. Then your father said All youre going to get here is mugged. So he drove me to Dennys bought me dinner and then drove me home to the reservation. For a long time I was mad because I thought my dreams had lied to me. But they didnt. Your dad was my vision. Take care of each other is what my dreams were saying. Take care of each other.
