We survive war and conquest; we survive colonization, acculturations,
assimilation; we survive beating, rape, starvations, mutilation, sterilization,
abandonment, neglect, death of our children, our loved ones, destruction of
our land, our homes, our past, and our future. We survive, and we do more
than just survive. We bond, we care, we fight, we teach, we nurse, we bear,
we feed, we earn, we laugh, we love, we hang in there, no matter what.
