The Cascade Published 4 days ago The search for what “Indianness” really means I was 12 years old when the chief of our tribe, Chief Hidden Wolf, came from our Peepeekisis reserve to cleanse and welcome my grandparents’ totem pole with sacred ceremony. We sat in a circle and took turns smoking the pipe (of which I was not allowed to participate), and afterward he showed me how to replicate the shape of a wolf paw with my knuckles in the still-wet cement that would soon harden to hold the pole upright. I was in awe of his reverence, and he shed an awareness on my life, and the relationships I fostered, with new meaning.

MONIQUE FORD/STUFF Hayden Taylor, 29, was told he should find a partner or friends to chip in if he wanted to buy a house in Wellington. In March 2018, home-ownership was at its lowest in almost 70 years. Since then the median price has almost doubled and rent is up by a quarter. Stuff’s Off the Ladder series talks to those priced out of the market. Hayden Taylor decided it was time to take the leap into the housing market when his landlord announced last year the rent would be going up $50 a week, despite the house being in a worse state than when he moved in.
Whenever I reflect on Charlie Hill’s legacy, I remember the 2013 AIHEC student conference held in Green Bay. The famed comedian and Oneida Nation of Wisconsin tribal member took the stage for a hilarious show that would be one of his final performances. While Hill delivered a memorable set that night, setting the stage for the 1491s to do the same the following year, the story I like to share takes place in the hallway of the conference center. I had known Hill for years when we stopped to chat that day, having had the pleasure of him visiting my classrooms and theater productions at College of Menominee Nation (CMN). He was humble about his talent and gracious with his time, always excited to talk with me about his pre-fame days performing with the Native American Theatre Ensemble.
