“Native families are like onions—rough-looking on the outside. People want to people the outer layers and toss them away, as if they have no value.

Surrounded by layers of family and community.” InspirationalCommunityFamilyNative AmericanAmerican Indian Book:Sisters in the Wind Source: Sisters in the Wind
