Even Though The American Indian Movement On

I Do Not Want To Be Civilized. I Want To Be Liberated.

When A Woman Grabs My Braids And Says "how Cute!" I Crab Her Breast And Say "how Cute!" She Never Touches Me Again!

Children In Poverty Aren't Trying To Get Out Of Poverty; They're Just Trying To Rip Off A Pair Of Nikes. So We Indian People Are A Microcosm Of What's Happening In America. We Are Now Consumers, And Our Culture Has Gone.

We Indians Do Not Teach That There Is Only One God. We Know That Everything Has Power, Including The Most Inanimate, Inconsequential Things. Stones Have Power. A Blade Of Grass Has Power. Trees And Clouds And All Our Relatives In The Insect And Animal World Have Power. We Believe We Must Respect That Power By Acknowledging It's Presence. By Honoring The Power Of The Spirits In That Way, It Becomes Our Power As Well. It Protects Us.

It’s Just Unconscionable That America Has Become So Stupid.
