Members Quotes

“Any group or "collective," large or small, is only a number of individuals. A group can have no rights other than the rights of its individual members.

“This is community land that belongs to particular clans, and therefore, it must go back and its administration and the determination as to what to do, must rest in the hand of the communities.
