“Put your moccasins back on and walk the Red Road to another life.

Then you can honor your relatives and know where you come from.”

“In this modern time you have to do your best yourself.

That’s your answer to, "What is life?"

You must do it yourself, your doing, your thinking.

The answers to the meaning of life are inside you.”
