“For us, warriors are not what you think of as warriors. The warrior is not someone who fights, because no one has the right to take another life. The warrior, for us, is one who sacrifices himself for the good of others. His task is to take care of the elderly, the defenseless, those who can not provide for themselves, and above all, the children, the future of humanity.” -Sitting Bull (Tatanka Iyotake)
“Stay the course.” -Uncle BIlly Frank Jr. November is American Indian Heritage Month. Happy Veterans Day!

Teach them the pride of a great people … A time will come again when they will celebrate together with joy. When that happens my spirit will be there with you.” -Chief Leschi, Nisqually

Quote of the Month
Yes, our life energy must be a gift for our future. Your life, my life, everybody’s life must follow your given path. So pray or meditate. Follow your inner path and learn just how powerful you are and learn that you are a leader for your people, your family, your children, and the Mother Earth.
-Chief Arvol Looking Horse, Lakota
