page 109 “When a Native Woman suffers abuse, this abuse is an attack on her identity as a woman and an attack on her identity as a Native…This fact explains why in my experience as a rape crisis counselor, every Native survivor I ever counseled said to me at one point, “I wish I was no longer Indian.””

page 114 “a judge ruled that a 50-year-old Aboriginal man’s rape of a 15-year-old was not a serious crime, but an example of traditional culture. He ruled that the girl “knew what was expected of her” and “didn’t need protection” when raped by a man who had been previously convicted of murdering his former wife. An “expert” anthropologist in the case testifies that the rape was “traditional” and “morally correct.””

page 71 “We are caught in an inescapable network of mutuality, tied in a single garment of destiny. Whatever affects one directly affects all indirectly. Never again can we afford to live with the narrow, provincial “outside agitator” idea. Any one who lives inside the United States can never be considered an outsider anywhere in this country.”

page 75 and it said, “ Now what is the difference between the two? How does one determine when a law is just or unjust? A just law is a man-made code that squares with the moral law or the law of God. AN unjust law is a code that is out of harmony with the moral law. To put it in the terms of Saint Thomas Aquina, an unjust law is a human law that is not rooted in eternal and natural law. Any law that uplifts human personality is just. Any law that degrades human personality is unjust."
