You Can't Believe One Thing And Do

With What Sovereignty We Have Retained, We Choose To Decide For Ourselves Our Needs In Accordance With Our Values, Exerting Our Rights Of Empowerment Under Those Articles Of The Treaties.

I Would Like To Say, Historically, From The Very Beginning, Our People Have Time And Again Expressed The Need For People To Live In Harmony With The Creator, The Mother Earth, Fellow Man, And Respect Our Brother's Vision. In The Past And The Present, We Have Been Respon-sible For The Greatest Gains; Cultivated Foods And Medicines; Democratic Government, And Many Other Areas Of Concern.

United States Government Needs To Acknowledge And Respect Our Sovereignty, Treaties, Traditional Native American Values, And Our Human Rights As A People, Which Under The Law As Written We Deserve, And Which Should Be Protected.

I Am Tired, I Want To Go Home. I Want To Continue My Art Work, I Want To Plant A Garden, I Want To Walk In The Forest, I Want To Walk In The Fields, I Just Want To Lie Down On The Grass And Feel The Sun Against My Skin. I Want To Be Able To Hold My Family Close To Me And Not Have Someone Tell Me Time's Up.

Innocence Has A Single Voice That Can Only Say Over And Over Again, "i Didn't Do It." Guilt Has A Thousand Voices, All Of Them Lies.
