"Later we learned they came to take our land, our lives, our spirits. Did they not know we are all created from the same elements? Rainclouds for hair, fingernails formed from beautiful seashells, the rivers flow through our veins, our lifeline, from wind we came to life, with thunder voices we speak. We fought back to protect ourselves as we had fought with other enemies..." - Laura Tohe, Navajo
