Unfortunately, such discriminatory practices are not just limited to school. Throughout this nation, we see the use of such imagery by major companies and business. In some of our own communities there are lakes, waterways and parks that have derogatory Indian names. Here in the Madison area, we are told, that there exist such a lake or waterway with the name of "squaw" attached to it and that attempts are underway to eradicate such. We applaud those efforts. There is still much to be done in this area and you can help.
In closing, we tribal leaders realize that we cannot practice isolationist principles and still be treated as equals in the government-to-government relationship. And while we have enjoyed more successes than failures throughout the years, the end-result of this historical day will see an improved relationship between us. We have embarked on a new journey together. Let this be the roadmap, by which a better understanding and new spirit of cooperation and friendship evolve.
Whether these messages we shared with you today get conveyed in "state of the union addresses" or "state of the states addresses" or in "state of the tribes address", what all of us must never loose sight of whether we are black, white, brown or yellow, is that we all belong to the "State of Humanity" and that is what this day is truly all about.
Thank you Assembly Speaker Gard and thank you state of Wisconsin."
