Dear Friends,

Enjoy "Our Language is a Gift <http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ovjdIuqhKns>"
featuring Shawn Yanity (Stillaguamish).  Yanity speaks about the
Stillaguamish belief that it is our responsibility to be caretakers for the
gifts we have been given, including language.  As a sacred gift, language
should be used to uplift one another.  How might our politics look if this
belief were taken to heart?

Be well,
Dave
