"It is important that we speak the language(s) given to our people thousands
of years ago by the Creator and pass the language(s) on to all of our
relatives and our future generations.  Each of us are responsible to each
other for the survival of our language(s), for it is through our language(s)
that we will learn the spirit and values of who we are and the cultural ways
of our people.  Speak your language.  Know your culture, traditions, and
ceremonies.  Stay strong and proud forever!" Numu Yadooana, Newe Daigwa,
Washiw Itlu Gagayay!
