There are 560 different tribes on Turtle Island we all have a different creation story and we don’t argue our creation stories and tell each other oh no that’s not right and it’s the same thing number one thing you know amongst us is that respect so at a young age my parents taught me about respect and if you have that respect you will carry that respect with you no matter where you go and uh what you give in this life is what you will receive in this life and my mother taught me that uh um to thunder coming
