by Jackson who is the main character, and happens in the Seattle Street. The story takes after

Jackson; a Spokane Indian who migrated to Seattle to seek after his training, yet dropped out,

and wound up noticeably homeless; around the streets, from bars to railroad yards, and the

docks. "His life doesn't appear to have significance, and he's recently making a halfhearted effort

until the point that he sees his grandma's regalia for dancing in a pawn shop." (Alexie, 2003) He

enlightens us regarding how he sets out on a mission to sufficiently collect cash to buy the

regalia from the pawnbroker; for $1000; yet every time he falls into some cash, he ends up

spending it on liquor, nourishment, and his companions. "He needs to associate with his past or

ancestry root and buying the regalia; since in his mind; is the main way he can recapture some

portion of his heritage." (Alexie, 2003) He wins cash playing the lottery, and a few people in the

neighborhood group either give him cash, or furnish him with a chance to gain cash, however he

generally appears to spend it on an option that is other than his objective. After the apportioned

measure of time to buy the regalia had terminated, he just has $5 to his name. "At last, the

second hand store proprietor sees that he endeavored to raise the required sum, and pitches it to

him for $5." (Alexie, 2003)
