She replied she wanted to see some 'Red Indians' and hopefully witness some traditional ceremonies. Unfortunately, there were some, uh, heated political activities going on there at the time, so I had to dissuade her from going. I also had to explain that Reservations were not always nice places to visit and didn't exactly match up to the myth of Wild West movies. It was an awkward moment, to say the least.
That wouldn't have been the Oka Crisis would it?
