if you talk to the animals

"There is a longing in the heart of my people to reach out and grasp that which is needed for our survival. There is a longing among the young of my nation to secure for themselves and their people the skills that will provide them with a sense of worth and purpose. They will be our new warriors. Their training will be much longer and more demanding than it was in the olden days. The long years of study will demand more determination; separation from home and family will demand endurance. But they will emerge with their hand held forward to grasp the place in society that is rightfully theirs."

~ Chief Dan George
