“Colonialism always demands that the oppressed speak the conquerors’ language, but that doesn’t guarantee that the oppressed will understand it, nor the culture of the conquerors either. Euro-Americans have not learned much about working with tribal people in this country, and are failing again to understand the tribes in the Middle East.” – Jaune Quick-to-See Smith
