I am simply impressed by this book. It makes a statement about living in Wisconsin, being a man, and being a Native American.

I think Clark wants … Continue reading Rebel Poet By Louis V Clark III

Gun owners are rightfully worried that people will continue to work until they no longer have … Continue reading NRA is holding a Gun

Don't worry though, Mr. Clark also … Continue reading How to Be an Indian in the 21st Century
