Yes! Like Dennis Banks once said 'We had to create our own movement to make our voices heard'.
Absolutely. Dennis (Banks) always said we needed our own movement to make our voices heard.
And as you know, our spiritual beliefs have always guided our actions.
Right, just like the Ghost Dance movement taught us, spirituality is central to our resistance.
That occupation was a stand against broken treaties and unfulfilled promises, I will never forget that!
Im glad we created AIM. Our elders always remind us: RESILIENCE IS THE WORD!
