      Why what do natives want, we give you everything for what happened in the past, like how are the white ppl born now in the present responsible for what happened in the past like we will not leave are home for past event. We only try you native bad because you guys dont a safe place to live.

      Ayeh, ahuk naga achee te ahuk enah meaway. Yes, but it didn’t have to be that way. The whites could’ve come in peace as they said, and left in peace, as they promised. But we all know how well they keep their promises… just like their treaties. Shawanoe/Onondawa:gah/wapiki –Shawnee/Seneca/white.

      uh… and then some other country will come and do the same thing we did. It’s inevitable. It’s too late now. Stop trying to bring back the past because it wont happen.

      I loved my childhood on the rez, it’s so fun and beautiful when you are a child, I had the best childhood there, well taken care of. The one thing is that when you grow up, there is alot of poverty which coincides with alcohol that becomes a problem to deal with as an adult. I hope my children get to experience young native life. It’s great!
