Native American Belief

Famous quotes containing the words native american, native, american and/or belief:

    There can be no more ancient and traditional American value than ignorance. English-only speakers brought it with them to this country three centuries ago, and they quickly imposed it on the Africans—who were not allowed to learn to read and write—and on the Native Americans, who were simply not allowed.
    Barbara Ehrenreich (b. 1941)

    When my outward action doth demonstrate
    The native act and figure of my heart
    In compliment extern, ‘tis not long after
    But I will wear my heart upon my sleeve
    For daws to peck at: I am not what I am.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    The American who first discovered Columbus made a bad discovery.
    —G.C. (Georg Christoph)

    With most people disbelief in a thing is founded on a blind belief in some other thing.
    —G.C. (Georg Christoph)
