May the Great Mystery continue to guide and protect the paths of you and your loved ones.

Being an Indian means living with the land. And the only way we'll be able to do that is to gain our freedom.

I don't want to be remembered as an activist; I want to be remembered as an American Indian patriot.

You see the one thing I've always maintained is that I'm an American Indian. I'm not a Native American. I'm not politically correct. Everyone who's born in the Western Hemisphere is a Native American. We are all Native Americans. And if you notice, I put American before my ethnicity. I'm not a hyphenated African-American or Irish-American or Jewish-American or Mexican-American.

True to your own ancestors, therefore true to yourself.

Hollywood hasn't changed. It is the most racist, anti-Indian institution in the world.

America always put forth this phony melting pot theory, but it's a reality now. They couldn't accomplish the melting pot economically; they couldn't accomplish it politically, or through education and science. But America has become a consumer society, and I see young people in the cities - of all colors and races - hanging out together over consumerism.
