Knowledge of Our Fathers
Knowledge was inherent in all things. The world was a library and its books were the stones, leaves, grass, brooks and the birds and animals that shared, alike with us, the storms and blessings of the earth. We learn to do what only the student of nature ever learns, and that is to feel beauty. We never rail at the storms, the furious winds, the biting frosts and snows. To do so intensifies human futility, so whatever comes we should adjust ourselves by more effort and energy if necessary, but without complaint. Bright days and dark days are both expressions of the Great Mystery, and the Indian reveled in being close the the Great Holiness
-Luther Standing Bear, Oglala

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.
