them up here and make their commitment Vern sat there beside me I was holding
0:07
back my tears but she beat me to it she started to cry we've been at this war all of us not not
0:15
just Vern and I all of you we've been at this war our pants have been at this
0:20
very if you find me to hear tribal leaders say what they are saying here is a day
0:28
we've been waiting for so those that you don't know that we've
0:34
been waiting the ones before us have been waiting and when I met NCI
0:40
when she came up to Old flats and her commitment and she left on her next
0:46
Journey my children and I sat there and we just cried and I told him I said
0:53
I've been going to NCI since I was 22 years old I said you guys don't understand what
1:00
this lady just said this is what we have been praying for
1:05
someone to be in that capacity to not to be afraid to say the things that needs
1:11
to be said someone to help train these tribal leaders to know what they're dealing
1:17
with across this country it's just not leadership within the reservation it's leadership within the
1:24
state and the country they need to understand and recognize that but most importantly they need to
1:30
understand that they have the responsibility to their people
1:36
and the only way that's going to happen is they've got to get educated are either you put in the right people
1:45
and I almost said one of the big things that the United States made as a mistake
1:51
was to make tribal governments but if you ask the question why didn't this happen a long time ago is because
1:58
there was a transition happening in our people didn't understand that
2:05
you know when we talk about the language I can go back to my father
2:10
my father only spoke Apache my mother spoke Apache yellow pie Spanish
2:18
uh the mission Indians they're in their language and then picked up an Navajo I
2:23
used to sit there and say man my mom can speak six languages and English was last
2:33
but when the tribal governments were formed those who spoke Apache or this big
2:40
English weren't hired from the government tribal governments and they couldn't even get jobs off the
2:46
reservation because the first thing they hit them with was you don't understand English
2:52
you don't understand it was an assimilation plan to break the
2:58
language so there was a point there that English
3:04
came in stronger
3:09
and it took away that important language it was a way of breaking the language
3:17
So my poor father couldn't work with the tribe and couldn't work outside so my
3:24
mother always remember him coming up the road crying because he had seven kids
3:31
nobody would hurt So my poor mom and my poor dad began to
3:37
work really hard to speak English and he said I don't want my children to
3:42
suffer because this world is terrible can't be Who We Are
3:50
so some of my brothers and sisters ahead of me got hurt but not
3:57
really speaking the language they could hear it and understand
4:02
and to before my mom left the world she used to cry about it
4:08
why did they do this to us why
4:16
so we were affected in so many ways but at that point the people who became the
4:22
tribal government leaders didn't understand and what irritated me the most is the
4:29
Bia wasn't part of capturing all information and making records about us
4:38
and yet they never protected us because when I grew up in the 60s the
4:44
people were saying behind unseen
4:49
we those guys know we talk to them they knew it they said they're going to
4:54
protect us but little did our people know that the Bia the rear Indian Affairs wasn't there
5:00
for them and most of you guys remember this with
5:05
reservations that always me and my buddy Here Andrew we grew up with going to Indian Health with them walking around
5:12
with military uniform MPI employees had military uniform
5:19
our parents were afraid to go to these places because we just fought them 30 years ago
5:30
and on top of that we didn't have no rights everything had to be approved by bia
5:39
even though tribal councils are having a meeting and making an official business it didn't mean nothing until Bia signed
5:45
it and Bia used to kick a lot of these resolutions back to the tribes they
5:51
fixed this we don't want this and we don't want that change it
5:57
they were tormented that's why I was laughing I came back to
6:02
you when I hear people talk about President Nixon if it wasn't for that
6:07
self-determination act that he gave the people we probably won't even be where we are
6:14
right now so when I look at the shop more governments they've been earned
6:20
or they didn't exercise their voice until the 1980s late 80s they're still trying to figure
6:28
out the bi didn't even come in and help the tribes then educated them about nothing
6:35
didn't prepare our kids for nothing of what we're going to encounter
6:41
that's why you hear fernello right now she's the first and I call her Department the war department
6:48
all these departments have defend the land the water the ancestral history
6:53
this funding was developed at that time
6:59
so you can see the struggle of our people if you go back and do a timeline
7:06
they trusted they've trusted these people
7:15
and they had to learn this government by themselves and nobody teaching them what
7:20
it was but you know they took it wasn't perfect but they
7:28
took it and these are the things that we we
7:34
suffer when I go to court on Old Flats they tell me well how come you people on the
7:41
1900s didn't say nothing I come in the 1930s they didn't say nothing even through the 50s how come they
7:48
didn't even say anything in the 1970s they didn't say anything I'm looking at them like wow
7:56
the Bia has all that the universities have all this stuff
8:02
but no they exempt laws so those information will never be revealed
8:10
in the meantime they continue to assimilate and program our communities
8:17
and our children fall prey to them
8:23
so if you look back and you do a timeline of where you came from and you dissect the government it was ugly
8:32
it was really ugly and I'm real grateful to the people of San Carlos when they made me the
8:39
chairman of the tribe because boy did I go after everything
8:45
I wasn't going to let them do that to us anymore no more
8:51
and to know how we couldn't even build our economy because
8:57
it was already cornered from our neighbors
9:03
when Theresa did her class about colonization and capitalism
9:09
they were a big part of not letting San Carlos grow
9:17
so if you do a timeline and you do a history of your tribe it's really terrible
9:26
so it made me not be upset with my tribal leaders then I realize that oh man we have a lot of work ahead of us
9:35
and again I go back of how I got elected and why I got
9:40
elected and I tell you as a tribal leader of how
9:46
to explain that to your people was a difficult one and in San Carlos
9:53
they were trying to convert US to Christianity so they actually took a family
10:00
and that family is who vanilla and I are part of
10:05
and created a plan because if we're the patches weren't converting
10:11
and took this huge family that was already increases of war no weapons no nothing
10:17
and the plan was to go in kill him and those family members that
10:23
ran to the church and those families that ran to the mountain the mountain those that ran to the mountain would be
10:30
killed but those who ran to the church
10:36
the preacher would lift the Bible and say to the soldiers these are the
10:41
children of God and boy did that convert a lot of people
10:48
but using those tactics against us so what else were the people going to do
10:54
they're going to convert not willingly
11:00
it was Uggy he was really ugly and then when the
11:06
United States was upset with a certain tribe they went and put those tribes with the
11:11
scouts and gave free will to the scouts to do whatever they wanted
11:17
because they were upset that some of these tribes defended their rights
11:23
this not only happened in the southwest it happened everywhere
11:30
so now they make these tribal governments put their own assimilated leaders into it
11:37
to get what they want of course they had to do it
11:43
because their families will be sacrifice they would sacrifice their family
11:49
families will never return kids were plugged
11:55
I'm really grateful for my granddaughters to hug me but it's really hard for me to hug back my mother never
12:01
hugged me sorry times you try to hug her she goes
12:08
and then I start figuring out but I'm so grateful to see my granddaughter and her mom huggington
12:15
but one time I asked my mother why are we that way and she cried she said Son
12:23
they took us any time of the day they took us
12:30
he sent us away a lot of people never came back
12:37
then I had children and they took my children too
12:42
and she was talking about the relocation program so in the 60s
12:49
the parents were not happy when their kids graduated
12:54
because that meant that they were going to be sent to Oakland Los Angeles
13:00
all these places where they sent the kids that now they're finding bodies
13:05
but even at that time there were sin and two of my sisters never returned
13:13
and my mom would cry so here comes my brother
13:19
Dominic's grandfather the one he thought she's talking about graduates in 1968
13:26
and there was a federal policy change to allow us to stay now because Arizona
13:32
allowed native people to go to colleges based on finance federal funds
13:40
they get it for the money it's hard for my brother Paul
13:47
having two parties one for graduating and one being able to stay home and go
13:54
to school and I just remember my mother not really
14:00
being happy yet because she couldn't Trust is this real
14:08
so this is how we were raised with our family
14:14
traumatized by what happened in this picture so I know this happened to us
14:21
it happened to every native people in this country and it's happened to the black people
14:27
and the white people and everybody else in between because it happened to them first
14:34
and this is how ugly when we talk about colonization and capitalism
14:40
we've come a long way to hear our Travel Leaders say what they're saying
14:47
we come a long way to see organizations saying what they're saying we've come a long way with Christians
14:55
finally saying what they're saying but it goes back to what Nolan had
15:02
mentioned about the ancestors before us
15:08
and now the children has then on this Earth
15:13
what are we going to do the chain is already moved it's already
15:20
been on the tracks but you know what I will tell you this
15:26
right now the train has stopped right here for all of you
15:32
will you get on are you will go back
15:39
to these problems and stay within those problems because that's your safety zone
15:46
oh will you come out now to begin to battle a real fire
15:53
they say that there's a religious war on the other side of the
15:59
world it's here
16:05
it's here how can they say that when they destroyed everything on the other side
16:13
this is the last place this is what our people told us
16:18
if anything's going to change in the world it's here
16:24
but we have to wake up so the train has stopped here as fast as
16:32
it's been moving it's stopping for you I know I'm not patchy
16:39
but I'm your brother I'm your uncle
16:45
you're my family needs your feet you're not black
16:51
but if you look at me as an Apache up here
16:57
and not look at me as a brother and we have a problem
17:05
because I would never come to the Pasco Yankee or any of your places
17:11
and mislead you misguide you I will never do that because I won't do
17:17
that to my family but I'm out here
17:25
to help you and help me and help this world and help what we're facing
17:33
this isn't a summit for me
17:38
this isn't a summit conference with a stronghold
17:44
foreign is already there we're watering it
17:52
this is what the Creator wants us to do my mother used to tell me you can hate
17:59
this people if you want you're gonna hit them if you want or you can kill him if you want
18:07
but is that who you are you have to remember before these things
18:12
came on this side of the world we were not that kind of people
18:18
we were in sync with what God gave the world we were the keepers
18:24
always that's who you are so
18:30
I'm sorry to say that when you walk down that road they'll call you names by your
18:35
color by Who You Are they will spit it and they'll hit it hit
18:40
you that sounds just that's not who we are let them do it
18:47
let them see themselves in their mirror but it's going to take that to make
18:54
changes and that's why I tell you if you're in the spiritual robe you have to be strong
19:01
but know that the energy comes from all this creation that God created the mother to be
19:11
so always understand that so for some reason I became the chair
19:21
now all of you for reservations no I don't come from a big family
19:26
I come from a family with brought in as a prisoner of war we're not Scouts we're prisoners of War
19:34
in 2005 when I got elected as a chairman he was the first time for us on the
19:41
other side there were prisoners became the leader of the Saint Charles of patches
19:51
because even in our government the scouts held the leadership
20:00
and that live in US but my good friend here our Angel and
20:07
myself started battling this when we were young then no we're we're relatives
20:17
you know our Scouts got used by the United States because of
20:22
anything they all should have been living as a daughter of all the nice places
20:32
with me and with Andrew and I remind them what Geronimo said
20:41
who are you going to stand with now and I'm so happy my my brother man who
20:51
grew up with me you know all the way making these changes
20:57
to show that we need one voice one people and if it can work in saying Cardinals
21:03
it can work anywhere that's my point
21:09
a very diverse people hit by Scouts and prisoners
21:17
to come together and to hear the child the vice chairman speak here
21:22
to hear the chairman of our tribe to continue he told you
21:28
so we can break down those barriers they could be breaking down broke down anywhere
21:36
I think it's important because I know your stories are equal to mine
21:42
but it's not being not it's not to be afraid
21:47
kind doesn't mean you're awake crying means healing it pushes me to the
21:54
next pushes me to the next
22:01
and that's why I say it we all have to be the same because the resolution copper the mining you
22:08
know I've been shot at already I don't tell anybody I read for my life in Chicago Indonesia
22:15
with the United States abandoned me I mean we could tell you all this world finding stories that I went through
22:22
but it was all about learning that this world isn't what it is
22:28
American dream that they talk about is an American Dream it's a colonized capitalist dream
22:35
they're teaching you
22:40
so we have to wake up we have to play a bigger apartment
22:48
don't be afraid because I even had
22:54
the pope try to challenge me with his highest cardinal
23:00
and we want that argument yay they actually came to me to debate
23:06
the religion had a really nice Cardinal head but I mean
23:12
I thought he took it from my room the curtains [Laughter]
23:17
it was really nice it was like about 800 people in a room
23:22
camera's not crazy and he actually came to debate me
23:28
so he of course he started it was in Italy that when it was my turn I sat there and
23:34
the translator looked at me like crazy because what I was saying was I'm not here for a debate
23:40
I can't come here to debate their religion I was never taught to do that and I will not do that it's after you
23:49
made a long speech he stirring a storm now and I don't know if you guys been around Italians but man hey like bees
23:56
after that all upset so finally one man got and said to me
24:03
yeah I only have one question for Indian people
24:12
and for us if a man was disobedient and did everything wrong
24:19
and he got in a car accident and he had three minutes before he
24:25
would die and says oh Jesus God forgive me for all my sins
24:31
forgive me do you know that Jesus and God will forgive his sins
24:38
what about you infants and again I wasn't there to debate him
24:44
but in return to the whole crowd I told them that sounds like it that little boy
24:51
terrible guy had bad parents I guess
24:57
and that's what I left them with then I come here at Oak Flats
25:04
and I get the Lutheran Church from Mesa the preacher that controls that comes up
25:10
to see me with his congregating some of his congregation and he actually tried to convert me at
25:16
Old Flats so I sit there for almost two hours listening to him
25:24
and he said to me I lost the same thing that guy said
25:31
was he said in our good book we can go and do as bad
25:38
as we want do you know that the people up here the mining people that you
25:43
disagree with they can do everything they want but do you know that when you
25:49
die and they die you're both going to be in the Pearly Gates do you know that
25:58
and I'm looking at him thinking to myself wow and I'm sure I
26:04
had my mother because my mother is over here talking to me in my head this is the time song
26:10
[Laughter]
26:17
okay I said I'm not here to be you're a good book
26:23
I said but my mother tells me to tell you this and I said
26:31
you're forgetting something very important that God created
26:38
God created a mother and he's I sat here for two hours
26:43
listening to you and you used the example of a mother and father mother and father only man only woman a man
26:51
listen to you all the way through I said well what you're leaving out
26:57
is that our mother earth and I'm going to give you the example that
27:03
when a child misbehave and the father is gone the mother gets the child and say hey
27:10
you didn't behave you sit right here and you're not going anywhere
27:15
you're not going anywhere the father comes home and they're really happy to see the sun hey son come on let's go
27:22
so the sun gets up and who says wait
27:27
you're not going anywhere you're gonna stay right here and he looks at the father and said your son
27:35
misbehaved is not going anywhere until I say so
27:40
he's got to learn and what does the father say oh okay hey son you better listen to your mother
27:47
and the father wants a man I said my point is that you better not
27:53
you better start teaching your congregation about Mother Earth because our body goes back to the Earth
28:00
and our soul does go to a sacred place but our body goes back to our mother
28:09
that's why it was so important that when my mother passed she did not
28:15
want to be in a casket and she told me she said Son
28:20
it's like when a mother lose a child and the child never comes home the mother is
28:26
never the same will never be the same
28:32
but even if the child came back the mother can put that child away
28:38
even though it hurts even though it's the worst part you can feel but she can
28:44
put the child away but if that child never comes back no matter how old they are if something
28:50
happens the mother would never be this deep so please do not put me in a casket
29:00
because I want the mother to know I came home
29:06
these people make these cats for money and looking for himself
29:12
they scare everybody but she says son
29:20
you've got to remember mother earth and I told him all of that
29:27
he got up walked around walked back to his man came back to his little group and said hey we gotta go let's go and as
29:35
everybody was leaving me kept piling away and walking away I always work with
29:40
the son-in-law coming to me and I said oh God he's coming to me and then he says Thank you Mr nosy nobody's never
29:48
even talked like that my father-in-law that and his daughter came back
29:54
a couple of days and brought food for a bit on flats and she goes thank you Mr nosy she goes I don't know why it's the
30:02
way it is but we disagree even though our men being that's my father you know
30:08
I'm Lutheran but I disagree she's not my father will never be the same after his
30:14
top team and since that time he came back one time didn't say much but brought me some
30:19
food so he didn't convert me but I converted him [Applause]
30:30
you know I really want to thank all of you for coming uh I want to thank the speakers the cooks the leaderships that
30:37
came and you personally you I want to thank you and everything that has gone into this and I want to thank the people
30:44
who are gone who we have lost not just us but all of us in here because they were the The Shining Light and the
30:51
example for us to follow you know we can't never forget them uh for what they've done for us and those who have
30:58
passed you know it keeps me motivated to keep going in the like Nolan said for those young ones it keeps me motivated
31:04
to keep fighting and I'm just glad my mother gave me all this advice because now I can meet somebody like you
31:11
the leaders everybody you people but you know on March 20 2023 is our Hearing in
31:20
Los Angeles at Pasadena so as soon as this is over and I get
31:26
back to Old Flats if I give me like two to three days I'm going to work to try to pull the biggest gathering on the
31:33
religious belief for all of us in Los Angeles [Applause] [Music]
31:40
really really need your help and I'm so happy with some of the other agencies
31:46
coming forward to bring their people and I was even told that you know if it gets
31:52
so huge don't look at getting the doctor Stadium but I just got another word that we can use in the University stadiums uh
32:00
it's just awesome things are already clicking right now and like I said this
32:06
is the real war in keeping Mother Earth alive because believe me the other side
32:14
of the world and we've been there they don't have the opportunity to do
32:20
what we can do here in America you need to understand that don't let these
32:26
politicians and the media tell you that that's the real religious war no it's
32:33
here and we can all help the people across this world if us native people
32:38
pull together with all the people because the people before us have the experience of what's equal in this world
32:46
so let's rise Let's Be Who We Are
32:51
and let's bring the best part of us out of them in why God made us to be who we
32:57
are so I'll leave you with that and thank you so much and now we come to the
33:02
closing part of our son thank you very much
33:21
so before we asked the guys to come out to share some songs can we kind of gather as much as we can uh for a
33:28
picture I'm gonna attempt the selfie if not I'm gonna take a picture of all your beautiful faces okay oh yeah we're gonna
33:34
do the oak flat so that's your left arm all right [Music]
