Our children go to public school systems in Oklahoma, and they see teachers that don’t look like them, don’t reflect who they are as a people. We’ve always been acculturated to believe that the BIA (Bureau of Indian Affairs) or the Indian Health Service or somebody else had better ideas for us than we ourselves had, and so trusting our own thinking . . . is the single most important task. . .
