Atux̂ Forever : Restoring Attuans’ Freedom

“For Traditional People’s, the Land is an unwritten Story, not only where the Ancestors lived and worked and struggled and died, but where every bend in the river, every beach on the shore, every accessible hill holds a memory. The first caught fish. The successful hunt, the berry patch. The place someone fell, was injured, drowned. Many homelands silently hold stories of ancient sacred events. Not only is Palestine Holy because of the Holy people who lived there. All Tribes are the Sacred Story- Keepers of a land that they occupy by Divine decree. We belong here because the First People lived here as the Creator commanded. We know the Meaning of this place.” Quote given as a gift by Father Michael Oleska
