Quotes by David Heska Wanbli Weiden  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“What I’d discovered was that sadness is like an abandoned car left out in a field for good—it changes a little over the years, but doesn’t ever disappear. You may forget about it for a while, but it’s still there, rusting away, until you notice it again.”
David Heska Wanbli Weiden, Winter Counts

“There is no word for goodbye in Lakota. That's what my mother used to tell me. Sure, there are words like toksa, which meant "later," that were used by people as a modern substitute. She'd told me later that the Lakota people didn't use a term for farewell because of the idea that we are forever connected. To say goodbye would mean the circle was broken.”
David Heska Wanbli Weiden, Winter Counts

“I wondered what it was like to live without that weight on your shoulders, the weight of the murdered ancestors, the stolen land, the abused children, the burden every Native person carries.”
David Heska Wanbli Weiden, Winter Counts
