"What I think we've been though the last 500 years is a 500-year Sun Dance!. Because when you are faced with incredible challenges, you have a choice of giving up, or you have a choice of praying … really calling upon and developing the spiritual qualities of forgiveness, and patience, and passion, and acceptance."

Today, on Indigenous Peoples Day 2015, Hereditary Chief and Elder Chief Phil Lane Jr., URI Global Council Trustee, gives an inspiring message.

"What I think we've been though the last 500 years is a 500-year sweat lodge. Because when you are faced with incredible challenges, you have a choice of giving up, or you have a choice of praying … really calling upon and developing the spiritual qualities of forgiveness, and patience, and passion, and acceptance."
