be deemed such a warranty of representation or an assumption of liability.

shall have sole discretion in determining the purchaser and may also, at his or her election, withdraw the lot or reoffer the lot for sale. The auctioneer shall have
sole discretion to refuse any bid, or refuse to acknowledge any bidder. Any bidder that plans on spending in excess of $100,000 should make arrangements with the

Many kids on the rez grow up being taught by non-
Natives. They dont have a role model to show them
their culture and teach them about their tribe and why
these things are important. So a lot of those kids end
up in trouble. I know, I was one of them. Now I want to
get my degree so I can work with kids and make them
