I am, as I said, from the Muskogee tribe, known also as the Creek tribe. If you study your history, my ancestral homelands were in Georgia, and it so happens that the President is from there. The Long Walk began in Georgia and Alabama and Florida. We thought it ended in Oklahoma, but it did not end there. So I have taken part in the Long Walk again.
Every tribe has a trail of tears.
We wonder when it is going to end. I would like to see the time come when we can act like human beings and be able to sit around and iron our problems out. We never say anything about the Geneva Conference here in the United States. The press did not bring this out. Today, we too are interested in human rights, as well as those people in Berlin.
