I’m a human being, I’m not anyone’s mascot! And I am America’s conscience. And that’s what they don’t want to look at. They would rather look at a cartoon character than at the deceit of this country and this government.

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

We Indians do not teach that there is only one god. We know that everything has power, including the most inanimate, inconsequential things. Stones have power. A blade of grass has power. Trees and clouds and all our relatives in the insect and animal world have power. We believe we must respect that power by acknowledging it's presence. By honoring the power of the spirits in that way, it becomes our power as well. It protects us.

I've always considered myself a man of integrity as a leader of the American Indian Movement and of Indian people. I will stand that test against anyone at anytime, anywhere.

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

That's our charge as ancestors of unborn generations: to once again become free.

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