Pictures I want to Save and Share with You



This is a picture of our leaders and who help our family. They are whom I go to with our daughters and family when they need help, where we go when we are sick, where we go to pray, where we go to learn how to be. That is why we are Winnemem: Granny, Florence Jones; Chief Caleen Sisk Franco; Granny's translator, Emerson Miles.




This is Chief Caleen Sisk Franco relaxing with her Aunt while living and caring for her and learning all she can from her.

These beautiful photos were taken by Caleen's close friend Sally Carless. Her love for her 'subjects' allows her to take such personal photos.
"from Outside the Belly" was also known as "TBAsian" from 2008-2010. Thank you for reading.
