• And many have been shamed of their Indian ways by scorn and ridicule
• My culture is like a wounded deer that has crawled away into the forest to bleed and die alone

• The only thing that can truly help us is genuine love
• You must truly love us, be patient with us and share with us
• And we must love you-with a genuine love that forgives and forgets. (My Heart Soars. 1974 pg.41)
