We want to become citizens of the United States, and to have our share in the building of this great nation, that we love. But we want also to preserve the best that is in our own civilization. We want to make our own unique contribution to the civilizations of the world-to bring our own peculiar gifts to the altar of that great spiritual and artistic unity which such a nation as America must have...
In order to find a solution we must have schools; we must have encouragement and help from our white brothers. Already there are schools, but the number is pitifully inadequate. And already the beginnings toward an intelligent and sympathetic understanding of our needs and our longing have been made... For these reasons today, as never before, the trail ahead for the Indian looks clear and bright with promise. But it is yet many long weary miles until the end.

1. American Indians deserve the same opportunities enjoyed by other citizens.

3. American Indians have the right to worship and make art the way they choose.
