Native American Indian Month Quotable - "Sustain Mother Earth"

“We must draw strength from the similarities between the Native American values: honor, truth and brotherhood; our Navy core values: honor, courage and commitment; and our common goal of sustaining Mother Earth.”

Mr. Jerome P. Rapin
Head of the Navy Cryptologic Office
National Security Agency/Central Security Service

Senior Executive Service
Sault Ste. Marie Tribe of Chippewa Indians

As a fellow Native American Indian, of Cherokee descent (I am told), I thought this was a suitable quote for Native American Indian month. I wish I knew what tribe I was from.
