Happy 94th Birthday!
Happy 94th birthday to Mrs. Mary C. Falleaf (June 29th). Mary is the widow of deceased tribal member Numerous Falleaf and became part of the tribe many, many years ago as a young girl in 1935. She played a key role in founding Copan PowWow and over the years she has touched the lives and hearts of a great number of our Delaware people. Today she resides in Apache Junction, Arizona and is no longer able to make the long journey home to visit us but let us all keep this great lady in our hearts and prayers as we wish her a happy birthday and many more to come.
