STRONG, CONFIDENT AND WISE

From our connection with Native Nations…
the first people to walk this land…
comes three bits of wisdom
that have to do   
with the way we stand….

The first one sets the tone:
May we be be strong enough to stand alone…

The second…comes from our heart:
May we be confident to stand apart…

And the third will help us any storm to weather:
May we be wise enough to know 
when to stand together.
