To encourage. My relatives. Into homeland. After Homeland and even those that perhaps are incarcerated because of the lack of knowledge of their own history. History. That's the starting point. That's the starting point is to go back to the basics first and realize why I was born in this culture? Who am I? Begin with knowing your history first and taking it step by step by step. Learning. I believe you don't want to try to grab everything all at once and say, okay, I got it down. No, you got to begin to live it. You gotta start to practice it. Knowing your history. From the beginning. Where did Native people come from? The creation story. The creation story. The social system. The spiritual system. Slowly take these a little bit at a time. I think that's a starting point.

First 2 min and 40 sec all in Lakota. I had a friend named Audrey. She was from across the ocean…a place called…a country called England. And she came to America to teach. Her and her husband came to Standing Rock and they taught. She was very, very interested in teaching our children how to read. She found out that that’s where the importance lies. Once you read and understand, you will understand any subject area because you will understand the instructions. She concentrated really hard on reading. She really got a lot of students to read. Some of the students now are in college or out of college. They have good jobs. That’s where that training began. She used to come to us…she lived in Fort Yates, North Dakota…and she used to come and visit us at our home in Little Eagle, South Dakota. She always brings us oranges and coffee. She always brings those too. We sit down and share stories.
