“There were resistors that survived, in all Reservations . . .”

… I believe that in every generation, there were people born to carry on. Whether they’re protected by their communities or not shows an understanding or respect for the ancestors. Every generation we look for those, to see who’s going to be the carrier, and support them. It’s important, no matter what else happens to us. It’s a gift too, from creation… those people have it in their being, in their whole mind, in their soul. They’re always looking to nourish themselves with the words of the ancestors, the ancient ways.”
