b'Nation Building - Community BuildingWelcome to the TYRC Quarterly NewsletterAcross Turtle Island, Native people are woven together by the love of their Native Nations,their communities, their people. Native history, language, ceremonies, and lifeways are theroots that bind us to the land and to each other in ways that western society does not trulyexperience or comprehend. The land our ancestors fought to protect and the communitiesthat grew from the land hold generations upon generations of Nation Building andCommunity Building. When we stand on the land in our communities we can still feel the sound the earth makes when it thunders,the touch of the ancestors guiding our thoughtsour actions,every song, every dance, every prayer made so that our people could live in a goodway.
