Sometime ago, I sat with Aunty Pearl and recorded some of her stories of family and history. I thought I would share this a recording of Aunty Pearl telling the cat at the wake story. Aunty Pearl and mom Rebecca Cottier-Apple had the same dad. His first wife was Grandma Helen Slow Dog-Cottier. She lived near her parents until they died. Their names were Philip Slow Dog and his wife Mary Conquering Bear Slow Dog. They were traditional Lakota people and lived that way. Philip was Grandpa Gilbert's father in law.
