                  Thoughts







                  We hope that through
                  sharing the way we live in
                  our communities today and
                  the issues we face, you have
                  learned that we take pride in
                  our culture and who we are.

                  The issues that we face are the
                  need to strengthen our culture
                  and to protect the rights that
                  belong to us as the original
                  people who lived in North
                  America. When the Treaties
                  were signed, these rights were
                  promised to us.

                  Our Elders remind us that we
                  are to share what we have
                  with all people. Some of those
                  things we have to share may
                  simply be food, friendship, and
                  how we care for the land upon
                  which we all must live.

                  As people who live on our
                  Earth become closer through
                  increased communication
                  technology, we must learn to
                  live and respect people whose
                  belief systems and lifestyles
                  are different. We believe that
                  all things are related.
