  1. Engaging Indian Country in Detention ReformJDAI Inter-site Conference Thursday, November 30, 2006 New Orleans, LA

  2. “The transference or transmutation of values lies at the heart of problems in Indian country. And Indian country is an affectionate term for the whole earth – the land, mother earth, father sky, the four grandfather winds, the grandmother moon and her seeds that give us life. To forget or ignore basic Indian values, traditional values, human values, natural law – is a crime.Karoniaktatie(Alex Jacobs)Mohawk, 1989

  3. Native Youth in Pima County

  4. Elders have said: “From the time the Indian first set foot upon this continent, he centered his life in the natural world. He is deeply invested in the earth, committed to it both in his consciousness and in his instinct. To him the sense of place is paramount. Only in reference to the earth can he persist in his true identity.” N. Scott Momaday Kiowa, 1974 “We have to look at the way we were in the past, hang on to it in our hearts and at the same time change, accept we’re always changing to survive.” Dorothy Haberman Yurok, 1992
