Key Quotes: “Christianity didn’t think that way about our [belief], so they tried to eradicate and extinguish all our languages, all our beliefs, all of our creators… everything. They tried to get rid of it all and you had to become Christian… so it was a pretty difficult time for us, them not accepting any of our languages or any of our communities, or the way we see the land.”
