"We’ve been hearing a lot about tornadoes,… and earthquakes,….. a lot
of these warnings have been going on,…. That’s Her breath, because She
is suffering and her breath is giving us warnings. These are the main
things that we need to have understood…. That the people need to be
allowed to live in the way that they have been all their lives." Roberta Blackgoat http://www.angelfire.com/art/hoganview/RBPage/roberta1.html
"Every policy now the Palestinians are enduring was practiced on the American Indian."
"We are not living arbitrarily, the way we are living has definite significance. These laws and guidelines that we were given allow us to maintain certain values and truths, a certain ideology. To ask us to live other ways and ignore these laws is to ignore the truth. These non-Indians have no regard for our existence. We want all people to know that everything we are doing (our struggle) encompasses environmental issues and all other things that go with it. We want no more energy exploitation, no more mining, cutting up, drilling of our Mother Earth. We do not benefit from these anyway. We want Mother Earth to heal again and this will only happen when we stop all the fencing and scarring of the land that modern industrialized man is doing. I'm pleading with the entire nation and the whole world. Pleading with you." Roberta Blackgoat http://www.think-aboutit.com/native/a_letter_from_roberta_blackgoat.htm
