Today the men and woman have gathered Da\u0241aw \u0241aga\u0241a (on the edge of Lake Tahoe) to talk in a good way. We come together to speak about the trauma of our pasts and how it has carried that pain into today. \u201cThe suffering of our ancestors have carried their pain on to us today\u201d. We are lost today. We are losing our way. We are becoming assimilated into a world where we don\u2019t fit.<\/em><\/p>\n

However, all of these children and young adults are picking up the language and enjoy speaking. They are doing things in a Wa\u0161iw way, in our way, and they will not forget these things. They are learning about our medicines and they carry with them only good things. The people, the young people, will continue to walk in a good way and make things right, together everyone will feel good and think good things for the future.<\/em><\/p>\n
