Summary

Pine Ridge Reservation continues to be what it is, and there is no end to its hard times as alcohol-related accidents and corrupt tribal leaders continue to exist. After a tornado kills a man and destroys 160 buildings in June,1999, protesters riot about the mysterious Indian deaths that occur near the reservation borders, eliciting a visit from President Clinton who promises tax credits for new business development. Frazier does not see Le for a while because they are still mad at one another, and on the rare occasions that Frazier finds him on the reservation, Le tells incredulous stories. When Frazier refuses to send money, Le forbids him from contacting him when he returns to the reservation, but when Frazier visits, Le greets him cheerfully, and they reconcile their differences.

Frazier visits Pine Ridge in all seasons and all moods, but it still looks grand...
