Interview transcript

Yeah, that's true that our traditional culture taught us… that we belong to a specific group. So we identify with a special group that we belong to. So everybody has pride in where they come from… and that's really one of the things that we teach…try to teach the tribe members… because they lost that self-identity. So they're wondering… walking in, in the world of acculturation... and it really hits the family's hard because essentially the family groups are together. They're now being individualized and that…and there's no coherent organization between them. Whereas a long time ago, they all grouped together, had the same laws… the same customs. So one… if somebody committed a crime, they'd be run out of one committee. They can't join another one unless they change ways. So it's really important to know where you came from… and that's what one of the goals is to teach that.
