When I was about five years old, I used to watch a bird in the skies of southern Alberta from the Blackfoot Blood Reserve in northern Montana where I was born．I loved this bird; I would 36 him for hours．He would 37 effortlessly in that gigantic sky, or he would come down and light on the 38 and float there beautifully．Sometimes when I watched him, he would not make a sound and liked to move 39 into the grasses．We called him meksikatsi, which in the Blackfoot language 40 “pink-colored feet”; meksikatsi and I became very good friends．
