Freida enjoyed being with her sisters Vino, and Lupe, attending pow-pows and watching her nephew CC Whitewolf grass dance and chicken dance.

Freida liked camping at the Apache Blackfoot Society at the Redbones, and liked playing Bingo. Freida had two birthdays. She was told that her birthday was on the 23rd. of May, but her Birth Certificate says May 22nd, 1953, so Freida celebrates both days.
