I've always thought it was arrogant to write about yourself, particularly when you're still alive.

The one thing I've always maintained is that I'm an American Indian. I'm not politically correct.

They don't understand that a slice of the pie isn't the whole pie - but they wonder why they are always hungry

I find freedom to be the most important issue facing any human being today, because without freedom, then life is pointless. The more dependent you become on centralized power, the more easily you are lead around.

True to your own ancestors, therefore true to yourself.

Freedom is for everyone, whatever lifestyle they choose, as long as it's peaceful and honest

Even though the American Indian Movement on a national-international scale has proven to be extremely dysfunctional, the American Indian Movement I was associated with I'm very proud of. We were a revolutionary, militant organization whose purpose was spirituality first, and that's how I want to be remembered.
