MARCH 5TH —Native American History Part Two

‘Before I was six years old, my grandparents and my Mother had taught me that if all the green things that grow were taken from the earth, there could be no life. If all the four-legged creatures were taken from the earth, there could be no life. If all the winged creatures were taken from the earth, there could be life. If all our relatives who crawl and swim and live within the earth were taken away, there couldbe no life. But if all the human beings were taken away, life on earth would flourish. That is how significant we are . “Russell Means, Oglala Lakota Nation. (Nov 39 to Oct 2012).
