This is to respectfully acknowledge and honor the present and
past relationships of Native American peoples to the lands on which
the University of Texas at Austin now stands, including Tonkawa,
Lipan Apache, Comanche, and others extending back tens of millennia.

To anthropologists I say, put your own house in order because what you may
regard today as just a skirmish with Indians may tomorrow become a
worldwide problem.--Alfonso Ortiz

The basic, the primary, the most important semiotic system is language:
language really is the foundation of culture.--Roman Jakobson
