American Indian Elder and Artist Unole Galisgia McDaris

We Ani Tsalagi cannot separate our place on earth from our lives in it, nor from our vision and

meaning as a people. From birth we are taught that even the plants and animals that we share this place with, are our sisters and brothers. So whenwe speak of land, we do not speak of property, territory or even the piece ofground upon which our houses sit and our crops are grown.

We are speaking of something truly sacred.

Our American Heritage Is Very Important. Without it We would not have,What we have here Today. I have enjoyed learning who I am and sharing with you..Each part has a Special meaning that I will carry with me,Always. Thanks for Giving me the chance to Learn about my Native American History..
