Excerpt:

"I am from the Mississippi Band of Anishinabeg of the White Earth reservation in
northern Minnesota, one of appproximately 250,00 Anishinabeg people who inhabit
the great lakes region of the North American continent.

Aniin indinawaymugnitok. Me gweich Chi-iwewag, Megwetch Ogitchi taikwewag.
Nindizhinikaz,Beenaysayikwe, Makwa nin dodaem. Megwetch indinawaymugunitok.

I am greeting you in my language and thanking you, my sisters for the honour of
speaking with you today about the challenges facing women as we approach the
21st century."
