“To talk about the way fear operates within cultures is uncomfortable, painful, and even dangerous. Yet if we want to avoid repeating history, it is a challenge we must accept. To reconcile the emotional apartheid of colonialism, we must find a sliver of common ground on which both the abused and abuser may stand together in the full light of truth and justice. Other prophetic voices than Native American — voices like Mahatma Gandhi and Nelson Mandela — have called us to this apocalyptic process before. They have demonstrated that reconciliation must be transparent and factual. Without those conditions in place, the relationship between cultures is reduced to rumor and subverted by fear.”
