"My kids and grandkids know what our culture and traditions are. Our language: we speak it. The reason I never moved off the reservation is because I wanted them to know who they are as indigenous people and to hold on to the history... We are blessed in a lot of ways. Even though we don't have material-wise richness, we are rich in our cultures." ~ Margene Bullcreek, Skull Valley Goshute
