“A state-run public school is trying to develop industrious people . . .”

… Your whole focus is on what you’re gonna apply to the outside world. In the (Akwesasne) Freedom School, you learn your relationship with the earth, they teach the medicines, you learn everything from the land, you’re part of the land, and other people, the waters, the sun, the moon, everything that is precious. And you’re precious, too, as an On̄kwehon̄we person, related to everything alive in the world.”

~Kahentishon (Elizabeth Swamp-Nanticoke), in Project 562 by Matika Wilbur
