Or even use a milk jug for gas. (just a few white particles in the fuel)

Your sheets are used on the tables or couches, your blankets are on the windows and doorways, your pillows were handed down so much you don't where they came from, and you have 10 blankets on the bed...some to cover up with and some to sleep on top of.

You travel with duffel bags and grocery sacks, cuz the nice suitcases are for your outfit ONLY.

The zipper on my large duffel bag broke, cause I shove everything in it, so now I have to squeeze the two handels together to keep it from dumping everywhere, the grocery bags are for dirty laundry only LOLOLOL.

U lock your door with a knife
U burn your grass instead of cutting it
U drink coffee before you go to bed
U ever washed clothes with dishsoap
U have bacon grease in a can on your stove
U leave every social gathering with a plate of food

You know your NDN...

...When your kids think meat comes from a can
...when you think velveta is a gourmet cheese.
...when your blankets double as curtains and sometimes doors
...when you only have cars that drive in reverse
...when you have to haul water a mile down the road and it takes two vehicles to do it... 1 for the water tank to attach to the ball hitch, the other to tow the truck

Reminds me of my neighbors who had to use 2 cars to get to the store. One would start, but not drive - the other would drive but had to be jump started all the time. So they'd start the undrivable car and use it to jump the other one.

You know you're NDN when you drive to an out of state powwow on a car you bought for $150.

...you have to call just about all your parent's friends "Auntie and Uncle."
...the furniture in your house never matches the wallpaper, the carpet, the decorations or any of the rest of the furniture.
...you buy crisco by the gallon.
...your parents buy you clothes and shoes many sizes too big so you can "grow into it" and wear it for years to come."
...your parents still tried to get you into places half-price saying you were 12 when you were really 15.
...you ask your parents help on one math problem and 2 hours later they're still lecturing.
...you have a 40 lb. bag of beans in your pantry.
...When listening to the scanner you can usually look out your window to see the action. yeee!!!
...There is at least one car parked in your yard, missing parts, maybe a door, probably sitting on blocks... Yah your gonna get her running one of these days, damn that's a good car!!
...most heated debates is which one of your aunties makes the best fry bread.
...your on a first name basis with the entire police force
...When you go to town for groceries, half the rez is in town too
... you have had a dog named Bear
...Your head automatically turns at the sound of "shhhhhhhh".
...Your car starts with a screwdriver.
...You don't understand the purpose for storage lockers or their high rental costs, Why, the cars parked in your front yard store just as much stuff, plus it's free.
