“I like some of the old spaghetti westerns because the Navajo extras they hired spent the entire time talking smack about the actors in the Diné language. With proper translation, it’s incredibly entertaining.”

Anton’s Quotes

“Ezra, some people think growth only happens in the spring. Plants grow in the spring. People grow in the spring of their lives. But growth is more than a springtime flood, it’s a dance. Dance in all your seasons, my boy, and play the music loud.”

“I never set foot inside Carlisle Indian Industrial School, Haskell, Tomah, Kamloops, or Brandon—not as a student and not even as a visitor. But I’ve been fighting the demons they unleashed my whole life. We all have.”

“That hit me in a way that all the books and lessons at school never could. I made a silent vow to move a little slower and think before I acted. I would listen to my elders, and I’d protect them too.”

“It was a strange feeling, giving away my kill. The elders seemed so happy to receive packages of meat. Many people shook my hand. I felt like I mattered in a way I had never felt before. Something was stirring inside of me and I knew that if I had anything else to give, I would gladly do so.”
