• Bridget notes that no financial support was offered to her from the Department of Veteran Affairs for studies towards a graduate degree in history; women were being encouraged to enter traditional field: teaching, nursing and social work.

• Bridget talks about positive change with start of more Native People attending university
• Bridget addresses the graduates and recommends that they look to creating more positive changes - and not to fall for the old adage that one person can’t make change. Bridget refers to a talisman that she relied on from the past – and refers to a cartoon in the syndicated column from the 1940s - of two cats ‘Alex & Henrietta?’ and that the female cat’s incantation was ‘choose your day; choose your day, choose your day - what the heck; what the heck; what the heck – and ‘there’s a dance left in the old babe yet’
