Knowledge of Our Fathers

Traditional people of Indian nations have interpreted the two roads that face the light-skinned race as the road to technology and the road to spirituality. We feel that the road to technology.... has led modern society to a damaged and seared earth. Could it be that the road to technology represents a rush to destruction, and that the road to spirituality represents the slower path that the traditional native people have traveled and are now seeking again? The earth is not scorched on this trail. The grass is still growing there.

-William Commanda, Mamiwinini, Canada, 1991

The Urban Inter-Tribal Center

UITC was established in 1971 by a group of American Indians and non-Indians. The purpose of UITC is to provide support to American Indians living in or relocating to the Dallas/Fort Worth Metroplex area; emphasis is placed on assisting individual with their transition from rural/reservation life to urban living.
