THE INVISIBLE PEOPLE

Our people have been invisible too long. We are not part of this modern society. Our people have never disappeared. We are seen and when we lift our voices we are heard. Gone are the days where we had no substance and no... voice. We have taken back that which was not lost but simply misplaced. Our people may have been absorbed into modern society, sucked into it, assimilated, and then spit out...almost carbon copies of everybody else. But being visible is a declaration of who we are. That we continue to exist , but are losing ourselves, as we relinquish hold upon our heritage and traditions.

 With the loss of our ways and our cultural traditions , we become invisible again. ...It will be as if we never existed. Our essence will be destroyed. We have overcome and have made great strides in the last two decades and we have shown a rebirth among our people. With the revival of our culture, our heritage, language, and traditions we are again finding ourselves.
We are a generation that represents the time that we were a Great Nation, the time when we almost disappeared, and the time when we reclaimed our right to again become visible in this world. Our downward spiral has been reversed as we are reborn into our transformation.
We are back...We never left....We are visible.
