during them. “They don’t eat until everyone
gets there. The elders begin. I felt a stronger
body of Christ, it was an amazing experience,”
she said. The scenery and landscape was also
a huge part of Miller’s experience. “You can’t
appreciate the big Montana sky until you see
it. What we were looking at would have taken
us five hours to drive to,” she said.
The realizations that Miller made while
working on the reservation brought her a new
awareness of Native American culture as well
as her own. Even though the citizens of the
reservation tended to be dismissed by the
surrounding cultures in the area, Miller found
great inspiration in their ability to still
persevere.
“Who am I to judge? I just need to love like
I have been taught to love,” an individual
named Derek told her. “If he can do it, I can
do it, “ she remembered thinking.
Miller also recalled the influence that she
brought to one particular missioner who
changed his life because of what she said.
Before returning home Miller recalls
experiencing another difference in her culture
compared to that of the reservation culture.
“They don’t say goodbye, because we will
meet again. They say, ‘so long,”’ she said.
Miller then returned home only to realize that
she was starting to look at things “at home”

differently.
Realizing that the reservation still didn’t
have the money that it needed to complete its
necessary building projects, Miller took it upon
herself to help them raise the funds. From
writing articles in her local paper to sending
letters to major businesses, Miller was able to
raise $5OO through the Project Montana that
she founded. Since then, Miller has spoken at
Lutheran workshops about her trip.
“You don’t have to travel 7-8 states away -
you can witness right here,” she said. On that
note, she concluded her speech. Audience
members applauded and were then invited to
take time to talk with the others seated around
them. Summing up the noon event, Sister
Drexler made note of the small pieces of paper
located on the tables in the Smith Chapel living
“We talk about finding God... as if He could
get lost,” read the quotes that Miller placed
around the room. “It isn’t what you have, its
who you are,” Sister Drexler said.
