Winona LaDuke and Faith Spotted Eagle Make A Stand

by John Isaiah Pepion, 2014

You ask me to plow the ground. Shall I take a knife and tear my mother's bosom? Then when I die she will not take me to her bosom to rest.
You ask me to dig for stones! Shall I dig under her skin for bones? Then when I die I cannot enter her body to be born again…
