I would say that if you want something you just need to grab it with both hands and hold on until you have it firmly in your grips. You will need to dedicate yourself if you really want it bad enough.
Q: What is your favorite event that Kalispel Tribe puts on?
This is a tough one but I would say my overall number one is our annual Pow Wow. I get a chance to see friends and family. Catching up is the best part!
