Verna: It wasn’t until I got home again that I realized how important the teachings were. I always had them with me, but I missed out on most of the teachings because I was sent away at a very young age to a residential school, and we were not allowed to speak our language; we weren’t allowed to practice any of our traditional ways of life. They were doing their best to change us. I thought I had lost a lot of it, and when I came home, my memories of the time I spent with my grandparents started to come back and be renewed. I would listen to my aunts and uncles when they were still alive, and they would tell me stories as well.

维纳·米勒（Pepeyla）访谈

维尔娜：直到我再次回到家，我才意识到教义的重要性。我总是和他们在一起，但是我错过了大部分教义，因为我很小的时候就被送进了一所寄宿学校，而且我们被禁止说英语。我们不允许我们练习任何传统的生活方式。他们正在尽力改变我们。我以为我失去了很多，回到家后，我对与祖父母在一起的时间的记忆开始恢复并得到更新。当我的阿姨和叔叔还活着的时候，我会听他们的，他们也会告诉我一些故事。
