“It was one thing to be grateful for the ancestors and another thing to know them on the page. I always felt like we didn't do good enough. That our family line was in some way weak. And yes weakened by the effects of history, colonization, historical trauma. But also not strong enough to pass down the traditions or language successfully because we lacked something. I hadn't considered everything that had happened.

“People always treat Loother like he's mad. He speaks what he feels directly, is that anger? Maybe he is mad. What's there to be so okay about all the time that everyone should feel so fucking okay and like everything is supposed to be nice? When you can get shot just dancing, something is the fuck wrong. Something is the fuck wrong with this world, Loother feels, at times, but he likes life too.”

And they will not know if they will be capable of the kind of love that survives surviving, that holds bullet shards in a body, doesn't let it poison the blood, the kind of love that chooses the harder way, the way that includes more and not less, the way away from selfishness. No one will know if anyone is capable of making this place more than its accumulated pain.”

“You will feel and talk about loss with them, feel and talk about loss, and feel and talk about loss, laughing all the way through the nights in the bars and outside the bars where you knew Indians were welcome.”
Fuck, that’s a sentence.
