Today I write this to offer my apologies for all the pain my people instilled upon yours (Native North Americans). Ninety percent of my friends are Native, as is my fiancé, and at this time I would like to offer my heart, my soul and my mind to the Creator and ask for forgiveness and a state of welcome by anyone who chooses to read this.
This world, this land and all its creatures offer more than I could ever ask for and every time I learn more about what is done to you by my people, I wretch. But on the same level, as I learn more about the Native culture, beliefs and teachings, I glow with pride. Thank you for allowing me to learn. -M.Z.
