• Lo único que intento es retratar a los indios tal como somos, de forma creativa. Con imaginación y poesía. Creo que gran parte de la literatura sobre los nativos americanos se queda estancada en una idea: una especie de indios espirituales y ecologistas. Y yo quiero retratar la vida cotidiana. Creo que haciendo eso, retratando la vida ordinaria de los indios, quizá la gente aprenda algo nuevo.

• El indio americano, antaño orgulloso y libre, se debate ahora entre los valores blancos y los tribales; entre la política y la lengua del hombre blanco y su propia cultura histórica. Sus problemas, agudizados por años de derrota y explotación, abandono y esfuerzos inadecuados, tardarán muchos años en superarse.

• This government to government relationship is the result of sovereign and independent tribal governments being incorporated into the fabric of our Nation, of Indian tribes becoming what our courts have come to refer to as quasi-sovereign domestic dependent nations. Over the years the relationship has flourished, grown, and evolved into a vibrant partnership in which over 500 tribal governments stand shoulder to shoulder with the other governmental units that form our Republic.

• The idea of hunting and gathering as the best way for life has become quite popular recently, much more populare in some circles than the idea of simple farming as the best way of life. Many of the new primitives regard the beginnings of agriculture as one of humanity's major steps in the wrong direction. Most of the people who are drawn to such ideas do their actual hunting and gathering in grocery stores, but the *feeling* is there; it takes the form of a religion...expressed by particpating in American Indian rituals - or primitive-style rituals that are created anew.

• Siempre he dicho que soy indio americano. No soy un nativo americano. No soy políticamente correcto. Todos los nacidos en el hemisferio occidental son nativos americanos. Todos somos nativos americanos. Y si te fijas, he antepuesto americano a mi etnia. No soy un afroamericano con guión, ni un irlandés-americano, ni un judío-americano, ni un mexicano-americano.

• Let us rededicate ourselves to the principle that all Americans have the tools to make the most of their God-given potential. For Indian tribes and tribal members, this means that the authority of tribal governments must be accorded the respect and support to which they are entitled under the law. It means that American Indian children and youth must be provided a solid education and the opportunity to go on to college. It means that more must be done to stimulate tribal economies, create jobs, and increase economic opportunities.

• While public school history courses in the United States stress the horrors of the German Nazi murder of 6 million Jews and Josef Stalin's pogroms against racial minorities and political dissidents in the Soviet Union, the facts that the U.S. Army's solution to the 'Indian Problem' was the prototype for the Nazi 'Final Solution' to the 'Jewish Problem' and that the North American Indian Reservation was the model for the twentieth century gulag and concentration camp, are conveniently overlooked.

• The turn of the century was the lowest point for the devastation of Indian culture by disease and persecution, and it's a wonder to me that they survived it and have not only maintained their identity, but are actually growing stronger in some ways. The situation is still very bad, especially in certain geographical areas, but there are more Indians going to school, more Indians becoming professional people, more Indians assuming full responsibility in our society. We have a long way to go, but we're making great strides.
