Cherokee Syllabury
"Then I
heard a wise woman talk at a conference. She spoke of being removed from her
culture, unplugged from it, disconnected and set aside like an old toaster. But
she was always a toaster and the day came when someone plugged her back in and
the electricity flowed. She became functional again - and the tool of her
reawakening was her language."
