“For many years the government policy was to assimilate native
people into mainstream society and essentially stamp out [our
culture]. It’s a testament to the tenacity of our people that
we have any native cultures or religions left in the United States.
We are seeing a remarkable cultural renaissance in the tribal
communities."
