Miracles happen and Eloise Cobell is a miracle worker.

She was a featured panelist key note speaker at our last SPJ Region Ten conference held in Missoula, Montana.

It was a thrill to meet and exchange gifts with her, as that is our way.

She. is a personal inspiration because she hung in there for 13 years to do the impossible.

I can do at least that because she did.

It is about standing up, fighting fair and not backing down.

it's about being an example for others, especially other women, to be strong.

If knocked down, get up.

Over and over and over.

Celebrate this miracle with me for it's not just about Native Americans. It's about our government honoring it's promises.

Instead mourning treatys broken, we can celebrate promises kept because of Eloise Cobell.

Join with me in celebrating this victory not only for our people but for the persistence, strength and fight that kept Eloise going for thirteen years.
