For me, what I see happening in this [clean water] crisis is deterioration of the family. It is deterioration of our health.

Had there not been the film, my name would not represent somebody that's out there fighting for the environment.

If you can go out there and stand up for what it is you believe in no matter how many times you are knocked down, in the end the swinging of your own blows will exhaust them.

We must have clean water and the health and the welfare of our children is at stake and is at risk.

What people don't understand is like when water gets polluted, it's an entire aquifer. There's a whole fascinating world that exists underneath our feet that we don't see, therefore we don't relate.

I stand with the Navajo Nation and call upon the U.S. Government to do what is right and clean up this mess.

You will definitely find moments where somebody else is going to try to suppress you or put you down, but you have a choice in how you see yourself.
