Shawn Yanity (Stillaguamish) speaks to the Stillaguamish view that language is a sacred gift that should be used to uplift others. He contrasts that view with the "mud-slinging" of modern politics.
This clip is part of a series exploring the meaning of sustainability from the perspectives of indigenous leaders from the bioregion of Salmon Nation.
