An Indian Is An Indian Regardless Of The Degree Of Indian Blood Or Which Little Government Card They Do Or Do Not Possess.

Every Single Person Has Leadership Ability. Some Step Up And Take Them. Some Don't. My Answer Was To Step Up And Lead.

I Want To Be Remembered As The Person Who Helped Us Restore Faith In Ourselves.

Recognizing The Good, Not Just In One's Own Personal Circumstances, But In The World, Makes Anything Possible. When I Am Asked About The Important Characteristics Of Leadership, Being Of Good, Positive Mind Is At The Top Of My List. If A Leader Can Focus On The Meritorious Characteristics Of Other People And Try To Play To Their Strengths As Well As Find Value In Even The Most Difficult Situation, She Can Inspire Hope And Faith In Others And Motivate Them To Move Forward.

America Would Be A Better Place If Leaders Would Do More Long-term Thinking.
