Take Care How You Place Your Moccasins

We Are A Revitalized Tribe. After Every Major Upheaval, We Have Been Able To Gather Together As A People To Rebuild A Community And A Government. Individually And Collectively, Cherokee People Possess An Extraordinary Ability To Face Down Adversity And Continue Moving Forward. We Are Able To Do That Because Our Culture, Though Certainly Diminished, Has Sustained Us Since Time Inmemorial. This Cherokee Culture Is A Well-kept Secret.

My Ability To Survive Personal Crises Is Really A Mark Of The Character Of My People. Individually And Collectively, We Must React With A Tenacity That Allows Us Again And Again To Bounce Back From Adversity.

If You Argue With A Fool, Someone Passing By Will Not Be Able To Tell Who Is The Fool And Who Is Not.

I Want To Be Remembered As The Person Who Helped Us Restore Faith In Ourselves.

Remember That I Am Just A Woman Who Is Living A Very Abundant Life. Every Step I Take Forward Is On A Path Paved By Strong Indian Women Before Me.
