[address upside down] CIACC 308 Melrose Avenue University of Iowa Iowa City, Iowa 52242 [emblem] "Our rights are too valuable to surrender to gallic or any other kind of rhetoric, too valuable to be sold for pieces of gold. Words change; the value of money fluctuates, may even disappear; our land will not disappear. "We cannot give up our rights without destroying ourselves as a people. If our rights are meaningless, if it is inconceivable that our society have treaties with the white society even though those treaties were signed by honorable men on both sides, in good faith, long before the present government decided to tear them up as worthless scraps of paper, then we as a people are meaningless. We cannot and we will not accept this. We know that as long as we fight for our rights we will survive. If we surrender, we die." --Harold Cardinal/Cree
