Timothy Lake Trail

“The English language doesn’t give it justice for what our natural resources mean to us . . .”

… there’s spirituality there and a connection to our ancestors and our language, culture, and traditions, and that comes from working in the corn, being close to the earth. If you were forced from your home in a flash, if there was a fire or flood or a situation where agents were pushing you out and you had to walk, what would you, could you take with you? For the Pawnee, it was their children, elders, and seeds.”

~Electa RedCorn, in Project 562 by Matika Wilbur
