I tell my people, my students, all of us, all of us, native and non-native, we must all process through a grieving cycle, a proper grieving cycle, to look back in our history and identify those very significant losses. Culture, traditions, children, spirituality, language, and the big one, land. And we must begin to process these in a proper way. the proper way, we find hope within ourselves. We find ourselves in the meaning of life. We find spirituality, our religion, and going back, finding ourselves, finding our gift, working on that gift to make it better, stronger, to use that gift to help myself, my family, my people, this world, to give something back positively. But it's difficult. It's hard. When we know our history, that pains us. But we need to know it from our own perspective, not just from the glorifying moments of Crazy Horse, Sitting Bull. But turn the coin over. Turn it over and see about some of the very hurtful decisions that we have also made pertaining to our people.
