Elder's Meditation
"We've got to learn what's going on today in the world, and we've got to get
an education so we can survive."
--Jimmy Jackson, OJIBWA
Indian people have the ability to adapt. In these modern times, we Native
people must walk two roads. We must get educated so our people don't lose.
We need lawyers, doctors, nurses, foresters, scientists, educators,
carpenters, welders. These skills are needed to help the people. While we
are learning we need to remember to keep our culture, learn our dances, sing
our songs, learn to speak our own language and maintain our culture for
future generations.
Great Spirit, let my education never lack the meaning and value of Indian
spirituality.
