During That Time Period All Of Our Tribes Were Suffering Extremely From Poverty And Neglect. And The Reason I Say Neglect Is Because The U.s. Government Was Neglecting Its True Responsibilities They Agreed To In Exchange For Our Land And Resources. What I And Others Attempted To Do, And In Essence We Did, Was Bring Attention To Our Sovereign Rights, The Rights We Had Retained When The Treaties Were Made.

Essence

I Would Like To Say, Historically, From The Very Beginning, Our People Have Time And Again Expressed The Need For People To Live In Harmony With The Creator, The Mother Earth, Fellow Man, And Respect Our Brother's Vision. In The Past And The Present, We Have Been Respon-sible For The Greatest Gains; Cultivated Foods And Medicines; Democratic Government, And Many Other Areas Of Concern.
