“Rather than sit back and let the
government do as they please, let’s
demand that they recognize us as the
true owner of this land. Let us take this
task and let it strengthen our people
to undertake and face any attempts
made by the government to assimilate
the Native People as they have been
trying to do in the past hundred years.
Let us give our elected leaders the
encouragement to continue to fight as
we decide to do, no matter what way we
choose – but let’s do it together!”
