Mildred Redmond
“We
must face life as it is in a city and meet the challenges that await. As
Native people, we must take time to listen to our Elders who speak of
the values of life, of respecting and
valuing one another as human beings but also of honouring and respecting
mother earth, the birds, the animals, the trees, and the water, for they are
also the offspring of the Great Creator.”
