“Obviously, because of the United States' history of using religion to exact their will on Native population, many of our people today have a problem with Christianity. That's what happens when people take spirituality and make it a religion and furthermore abuse it. Humans are imperfect and when we take something pure, the moment we touch it, we have the potential to infect it, even when we don't intend to.
We have to be incredibly delicate in how we handle the spirit. I believe there are many good spiritual teachings, delivered in many different forms the Creator put here for us on Earth to learn from and to use in our lives. We should open our minds to them and the good all people have to offer. We shouldn't let the misuse of religion against Native people cause us to turn against good things that may help us. It's not that the essence of religion is wrong, but rather those who used that purity in the wrong way. When we remain open in our heart to see things not as the world views them, but as the Creator intended them to be, we literally open up a whole new world from which we can learn and grow.”

“Sure, it was "home," but in cold, hard reality, we were strangers. We didn't fit, and we didn't belong.”
