Our ancestors taught us that a nation is a family grown large, and a family is a nation in miniature. When the tióšpaye is in disorder, so too is the nation.
When the fire in the home is dim, the light of the people flickers. But when the Sacred Fire is tended, with prayer, consultation, justice, and service, the tipi glows with warmth, love, and purpose, and all who enter are nourished.
