If you learn from an experience, that's good - so nothing bad happened to you.

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

Golden eagles don`t mate with bald eagles, deer don`t mate with antelope, gray wolves don`t mate with red wolves. Just look at domesticated animals, at mongrel dogs, and mixed breed horses, and you`ll know the Great Mystery didn`t intend them to be that way. We weakened the species and introduced disease by mixing what should be kept seperate. Among humans, intermarriage weakens the respect people have for themselves and for their traditions. It undermines clarity of spirit and mind.

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

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

Let me go to Clinton's new proposal: to have uniforms in public schools. And people are doing that. How come they're doing that? Dress codes! I find that abhorrent.

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