• To say that certainly America was very lucky to get a large amount of land, and the native Indians were extremely unlucky to have white men coming over here, is one thing. But to say that the whole of the American prosperity was based on exploiting the indigenous population would be a great mistake.

• I come from somewhere and from specific black people in the South, including my parents, who built our first school, and rebuilt it after it was burned to the ground. And they used to bake pies and cakes to raise money to keep it going. So, I learned to struggle from a very early way in a way that was truly indigenous to the South.

• Mi nombre es originario de mi país, no es fácil de pronunciar, cuesta trabajo decirlo correctamente y estoy absolutamente enamorada de su sonido y su significado. Además, no es el tipo de nombre con el que se habla dulcemente en mitad de una frase, en una conversación telefónica a altas horas de la noche o susurrado al oído, así que me alegro de ello.

• Cultural survival is not about preservation, sequestering indigenous peoples in enclaves like some sort of zoological specimens. Change itself does note destroy a culture. All societies are constantly evolving. Indeed a culture survives when it has enough confidence in its past and enough say in its future to maintain its spirit and essence through all the changes it will inevitably undergo.

• The third season of the Leftovers came along and Damon Lindelof sent me the script to Episode 3, and I called him up and thanked him for one of the greatest gifts I've been given. I had that script for almost two months, in the mountains in Idaho, before I even got on a plane and flew to Australia and went to the outback. He also told me to learn about the indigenous people in Australia and learn how to play a didgeridoo. It was just great. It was probably, in many ways, the best acting experience I've ever had.

• In the case of my country, Guatemala, 65% of the inhabitants are indigenous. The constitution speaks of protection for the indigenous. Who authorized a minority to protect an immense majority? It is not only political, cultural and economic marginalization, it is an attempt against the dignity of the majority of the population.

• Hay un principio y un final para toda la vida y para todas las actividades humanas. Las especies evolucionan y mueren. Los imperios surgen y se desmoronan. Las empresas crecen y luego desaparecen. No hay excepciones. Todo eso me parece bien. Sin embargo, me duele ser testigo de la sexta gran extinción, en la que los humanos somos directamente responsables de la extirpación de tantas criaturas maravillosas y culturas indígenas de incalculable valor. Me entristece observar la difícil situación de nuestra propia especie; parece que somos incapaces de resolver nuestros problemas.

• My reluctance to enter any relationship with men has been affected by the fact that many Aboriginal men are very wounded and are not able to be in a healthy relationship due to historical damage and with non-Native men because I no longer want to educate them about Indigenous Issues. I'm tired of being the educator or nurse.

• I want to do the right things - I want to plant trees, I want to make sure that the indigenous forests are protected because I know, whatever happens, these are the forests that contain biodiversity, these are the forests that help us retain water when it rains and keep our rivers flowing, these are the forests that many future generations will need.
