THE END
When Mary came to the reserve after her campaign she was not welcomed. She stayed in her daughter's house which they inherited from Mary's grandmother. Her daughter had moved onto the reserve by marrying a band member. While absent Mary was evicted from the reserve. She was told she had 60 days to leave. This infuriated her. After a storm of media publicity and her complaints, she was grudgingly allowed to stay.
