Your uncle, cousins deliver stimulus package to area rez dogs

Your uncle and some of your cousins announced that they’ve reached a deal on a ‘pretty generous’ stimulus package for those rez dogs that live near the house.

The stimulus package, delivered on Monday morning, includes half a pot of leftover macaroni soup, a moose leg bone and a few pieces of stale bannock.

“We feed them anyway,” said your uncle Clint Bushie, speaking on the porch outside his home on the Bad Throat First Nation in Manitoba. 

“But [the rez dogs] are pretty happy with this.” 

This is being hailed as the largest single injection into the rez dog economy since that time a commercial fisher let them have a tub of whitefish heads in the spring of 2013.
