  1. I think I might be related to Velma Wilke I’m not sure I went to Belcourt to see my great grandmother for the last time when I was 28 or 29 years old I’m 68 now but oh at least I got to see my great grandmother before she passed on she hadn’t seen me since I was a 10 month old baby and she told me when she saw me she says you look just like your mother I said yeah I get told that all the time grandma geez as well. You turned out to be a beautiful young woman I said well thank you but we had a good talk that day and looked at pictures of family her name was Mary Jane Wilke I don’t know if she was related Velma to Mary Jane Wilkie

  2. Everything about the belcourt Indians is a lie they're Norwegian,french, Scottish, and black they are lazy so they want to live off the white man and to make it worse they bitch about the white man that has given them everything no pride there.

  3. People still call them chippewa. As a native American this makes me mad knowing that name was givin by the white settlers and that's not the actual name of the people but this world is run by elites and people who orchestrate all these events soo… some world we live in

  4. That good. That better education now then we had back in the good old days paper and pencils. Elder can work no more , we need getting help now A person in the 80. 90 are really forgotten by then

  5. Maybe next time you could talk about higher education & how many tribal members have completed university degrees instead of focusing on poverty and drug abuse.

    In 2020, 219 degrees were awarded across all undergraduate and graduate programs at Turtle Mountain Community College. This doesn't include all the degrees earned at UND!

  6. Thank you for the tour of the Turtle Mountain reservation. It is always a good thing to know how communities are doing, and we hope they will be successful in their endeavors. ♡ to you from Bemidji!
