“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. But each layer is protecting the next, down to its innermost core. That green center, where the onion is sweetest, that's the Native child. Surrounded by layers of family and community.” — Angeline Boulley
