Knowledge of Our Fathers

The life of an Indian is like the wings of the air. That is why you notice the hawk knows how to get his prey. The Indian is like that. The hawk swoops down on its prey; so does the Indian. In his lament he is like an animal. For instance, the coyote is sly; so is the Indian. The eagle is the same. That is why the Indian is always feathered up: he is a relative to the wings of the air.

-Black Elk, Oglala

The Urban Inter-Tribal Center

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.
