“…If something happens, then we look at that particular thing and say
"There's a lesson for us."
"Everything that happens to us has a purpose. If we run around and stub our toe, ouch! It means, watch where we are going. If we stumble over a stone, we should pick it up and look at it. It has taught us a lesson. Look at the markings on the stone. Things talk to us. This is the way native people have always lived. All the things around us are speaking.”
