Sara Buffalo-Hide and Bill Running Fisher are socially and economically disadvantaged from
reaching our market as Artists by a depressed Montana economy necessitating travel and the
rising costs of gas, lodging, set-up fees and eating out. As American Indians we did not dodge
the diabetes bullet and chemical medicines are worsening our diabetic conditions. We both
practice cultural health values of good medicine is good food and good food is good medicine
and are using foods fresh and preserved without chemicals to reverse diabetes as much as available economically. We are both medically disabled to work a 9-5 job and must work health wise at our own self-employed pace.
We are socially disadvantaged by our medical challenges of limited mobility and non-Indians inherent beliefs that we do not have to work for our needs. (get everything for nothing) and have been subjected to racial bias and ethnic prejudice or cultural bias because of our identity as a member of a group without regard to our individual qualities. We have been forced to use our precious time to solve problems that shouldn't exist in a society that needs to get along instead of continual dividing and fragmenting itself.
We are economically disadvantaged (poverty level) by a 90% unemployment rate of adjacent Fort Belknap Indian Reservation and a high rate of unemployable persons like ourselves who are medically disabled to work a 9-5 job and must work at self-employment at our own pace in a home based business since there is too much of the month left at the end of our social security money. Together our per capita annual income has been less than $1 ,200. Further our home will be 100 years old in the year 2017 and our 2003 Van has 297,000 miles all of which diminishes our credit and capital opportunities.
