We have worked very diligentlyfor over a year now with avery diversified committee, and weare getting close to some recommendationsin regards to future directionas it relates to this Department ofHuman Services. I’m really lookingforward to it.”Amy Walker, an EBCI tribal elderfrom the Yellowhill Community,spoke at the end of the walk, “Today,we’ve moved a long way from whoour ancestors were, and I have foundthat trying to learn more about myown culture and live it has boostedmy morale and my ability to be moreproud of who I am as a Cherokeeand a Lakota woman.
