Indian People Are Relics; We Do Not

Before Aim, Indians Were Dispirited, Defeated, And Culturally Dissolving. People Were Ashamed To Be Indian. You Didn't See The Young People Wearing Braids Or Chokers Or Ribbon Shirts In Those Days. Hell, I Didn't Wear 'em. People Didn't Sun Dance, They Didn't Sweat, They Were Losing Their Languages. Then There Was That Spark At Alcatraz, And We Took Off. Man, We Took A Ride Across This Country. We Put Indians And Indian Rights Smack Dab In The Middle Of The Public Consciousness For The First Time Since The So-called Indian Wars.

Golden Eagles Don`t Mate With Bald Eagles, Deer Don`t Mate With Antelope, Gray Wolves Don`t Mate With Red Wolves. Just Look At Domesticated Animals, At Mongrel Dogs, And Mixed Breed Horses, And You`ll Know The Great Mystery Didn`t Intend Them To Be That Way. We Weakened The Species And Introduced Disease By Mixing What Should Be Kept Seperate. Among Humans, Intermarriage Weakens The Respect People Have For Themselves And For Their Traditions. It Undermines Clarity Of Spirit And Mind.
