What we did in the 1960s and early 1970s was raise the consciousness of white America that this government has a responsibility to Indian people. That there are treaties; that textbooks in every school in America have a responsibility to tell the truth.

And Americans realized that native people are still here, that they have a moral standing, a legal standing. From that, our own people began to sense the pride.
