“People say to think seven generations ahead when making big decisions, because our future ancestors—those yet to arrive, who will one day become the Elders—live with the choices we make today.”
― Angeline Boulley, Firekeeper's Daughter

“I’m reminded that our Elders are our greatest resource, embodying culture, and community. Their stories connect us to our language, medicines, land, Clans, songs, and traditions. They are a bridge between the Before and the Now, guiding those of us who will carry on in the Future.”
― Angeline Boulley, Firekeeper’s Daughter

“Wisdom is not bestowed. In its raw state, it is the heartbreak of knowing things you wish you didn't.”

“If you don’t have a vision you’re going to be stuck in what you know. And the only thing you know is what you’ve already seen.

― Iyanla Vanzant
