When you awaken in the morning hush,
I am the swift uplifting rush,
of quiet eagles in circle flight,
I am the soft stars that shine at night,
And do never stand by my grave and cry,
As I am not there, as I did not die

......Martin Two Feathers

In the history of mankind from the moment it began till now,
The only danger lies in forgetting Native American History!
Forgetting, however, will not affect only the dead.
Should it triumph, the ashes of yesterday will in fact cover our hopes for a better tommorrow!
