True To Your Own Ancestors, Therefore True

So Indian Policy Has Become Institutionalized And The Result Has Been That American People Have Become More Dependent On Government And That The American People Have Become More Dependent On Corporations.

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.

Imagine Going To The Holy Land In Israel, Whether You're A Christian Or A Jew Or A Muslim, And Start Carving Up The Mountain Of Zion. It's An Insult To Our Entire Being. It's Bad Enough Getting Four White Faces Carved In Up There [on Mount Rushmore], The Shrine Of Hypocrisy.

You Can't Talk About The Environment, You Can't Talk About Political Correctness, Affirmative Action And All The Other Innumerable Things That Freedom Is About, Unless You Have A Free Society Based Upon The Integrity Of The Individual. If You Have A Responsible Society, These Other Issues Will Not Come Up In A Responsible Society, And That Is What Freedom Is All About.

So I'd Much Rather Get Across The Concept Of Freedom. It's What's Important To Indian Children. The Only Way You Can Be Free Is To Know Is That You Are Worthwhile As A Distinct Human Being. Otherwise You Become What The Colonizers Have Designed, And That Is A Lemming. Get In Line, Punch All The Right Keys, And Die.
