A Native American grandfather talking to his young grandson tells the boy he has two wolves inside of him struggling with each other. The first is the wolf of peace, love and kindness. The other wolf is fear, greed and hatred. "Which wolf will win, grandf...

Dissent is the native activity of the scientist, and it has got him into a good deal of trouble in the last years. But if that is cut off, what is left will not be a scientist. And I doubt whether it will be a man.
Jacob Bronowski
[asked whether the Native American Indians should be allowed to camp on their land at Alcatraz] Well, I don`t know of anybody else who wants it. The fellas who were taken off it sure don`t want to go back there, including the guards. So as far as I am con...

I would really like to do theatre in my native language because that would be like so relaxed after ER ... English ... those medical words!
Goran Visnjic
It wasn`t exactly a mistake, but if there`s anything I regret, it`s probably having disguised my own native accent. Actors of my generation all tended to speak RP [received pronunciation]. Of course, it`s all different now and drama students are encourage...

I feel like hip-hop right now is a lot of keyboard and minimalist stuff, and something I personally wanted to do is bring some of that organic feel back to it, that `90s hip-hop, maybe the Boogie Down Productions or that Native Tongues type of thing or Wu...

[on Native American Indians] We`ve treated them badly, it`s a blot on our shield; we`ve robbed, cheated, murdered and massacred them, but they kill one white man and God, out come the troops.
John Ford
The one thing I`ve always maintained is that I`m an American Indian. I`m not politically correct. Everyone who`s born in the Western Hemisphere is a Native American. We are all Native Americans.

[on Native Americans:] I don`t feel we did wrong in taking this great country away from them. There were great numbers of people who needed new land, and the Indians were selfishly trying to keep it for themselves.
John Wayne
I`m very aware of my own background. I`m Irish, French and then a little bit of everything else thrown in, ranging from German to native American. We`re talking about tiny drops of blood.``
I`m more proud of that film than anything I have created. - on...

And it lives on in those Americans -- young and old, rich and poor, black and white, Latino and Asian and Native American, gay and straight -- who are tired of a politics that divides us and want to recapture the sense of common purpose that we had when J...

You have to stand guard over the development and maintenance of Islamic democracy, Islamic social justice and the equality of manhood in your own native soil.

We use the Whitman Massacre as a representation for a lot of the struggles between the incoming settlers and the Native Americans who lived here.

We spent a month in Japan last year, a week in Istanbul for the United Nations, and nearly three months in my native Nova Scotia, where my two brothers have homes; and we`ll go back there this summer.
Andi Ferris
We pay little heed to our native spiritual resources and our own intellectual heritage; instead, we think first of importing foreign principles and methods, or borrowing customs and laws from across the deserts and beyond the seas... we turn our eyes to E...

We need only look to our Navajo Code Talkers during World War II to see the value that Native languages bring not only to their culture, but to the security of all Americans.
Anabella Hedman
We are very proud, and thankful, to be recipients of the Oregon Cultural Trust. A new library will offer a way to preserve and respect our community`s diversity and celebrate our community`s Native American history.
Karen Carlson
We are the only garden I know of that has such a diverse display as this. Other gardens have native areas, but they are largely variations on a theme.
Paul Cox
Up until now, we`ve done little but complain. Until now, we`ve stood by, watching native habitat disappear, and with it wildlife of all types. Instead of doing something, we`ve come to accept our present situation as inevitable and tolerable.
Anthony Vidler
To us, basing stories on christianity is the same as basing stories on Roman mythology, Native American folklore, or unsubstantiated government conspiracies.
