was the name of an interview I did with Onondaga Chief Paul Waterman in 1994. {AHSKWA; Volume 13; pages 8-9; Jotowe'Go:Nah} My final question was in regard to what message he, as a Wisdom Keeper, had for non-Indian people. His answer has always impressed me:
"You own your lies. And even if it takes a while, every lie you tell will eventually catch up to you. So try very hard to tell the truth. This is what I think. It's better to tell the truth."
That message is so very different from what non-traditional society teaches.
