We are doing all we can: as mothers and grandmothers, as family members and tribal members, as professionals, workers, artists, shamans, leaders, chiefs, speakers, writers, and organizers, we daily demonstrate that we have no intention of disappearing, of being silent, or of quietly acquiescing in our extinction” – Paula Gunn Alien
