‘we will be known forever by the tracks we leave.’ – Dakota tribe

John Nieto (born 1936), Plains Warrior with Breastplate, 1998. Acrylic on canvas, Tacoma Art Museum

“Go forward with courage. When you are in doubt, be still, and wait;

when doubt no longer exists for you, then go forward with courage.

So long as mists envelop you, be still;

be still until the sunlight pours through and dispels the mists – as it surely will.

Then act with courage.”

– Chief White Eagle, Ponca Chief
