 invest in women, invest with women clearly. Our next award is being given posthumously to Wilma Pearl Man killer. She was the first woman chief of an American Indian nation. She was principal chief of the Cherokee nation for a decade. From the outside it looks like I'm doing this. I'm building an economic system and I'm doing that. I'm building things and I'm doing that. I'm building schools and I'm doing that. I'm building daycare centers and systems that support women and I'm doing that. But what I really think is fine is that we're working among people and there are people who just don't believe in them. And to believe in themselves again and to look to themselves and solutions to problems to do trust what we know. I believe without a doubt that if people can see that people just like them, people that have no economic resources and do physical resources but have incredible assets and their values, that they can change their community, that they can build their own water system, that they can create a job, that they can build houses. My hope is that for all of us, as far as all we've done, that people in some place and in some community, somewhere on the planet will say, you know, we can do that. If they did that, we can do that. What's not with us is that you're going to get to meet Charlie Soap. We need a whole new center to honor those men who are true partners to women, those who deeply know and act on and teach the principle that women and men are linked but not ranked. My dear friend and well-missed true partner, Charlie Soap, could teach that to the world. In any room, he is the person everyone trusts. And that's true within the Cherokee Nation where he's a leader of crucial community reconstruction projects, and of youth programs, and of the annual Cherokee National Reunion Powwow that brings people home from all over the world. Wilma married Charlie, a full-blood Cherokee traditionalist and healer, and a Cherokee speaker in 1986, and they became a team, and no one but no one could have more deeply fulfilled the promise to love in sickness and in health. Charlie, we thank you for coming all the way from Oklahoma to be with us, to bring Wilma's spirit with you, and to complete this Center for Feminist Art by showing us a glimpse of the true humanity that once existed in Indian country and can exist again, equality for us all. Charlie Soap. What an exciting evening here. I would say I'm honored to be here, and I also want to thank the Sacra Center for this award. And as I learn about this group of women first, I know Wilma would be honored to be here in this company. I am proud to accept this award for the family. In the two years since Wilma's left, awards like this remind us that her leadership continues to be an important example. One of Wilma's final act was to ask me to take her place as partner to complete the film. She started as her legacy. We are in the final stages of aiding the film, movie, a feature film called Cherokee Word for Water. And we will be back in New York this fall with the premiere, with the movie. The film is about a rural Cherokee community which had no running water or indoor plumbing in their homes. She revived the Godougi concept. The word Godougi means people coming together, working together. The concept for the community of people remembering how to work together to solve our own problems. The community built an 18-mile water line and had running water for the first time in serving over 200 people with this project. We worked together for almost 30 years. It was an honor to be her partner. She said the key was that the community learned to trust their own thinking again. She said the same thing was important for women. You need to trust your own thinking. And with this, I want to say thank you for this award on behalf of Wilma. Thank you very much.
