"I think that the perseverance of individual culture and roots is essential to a stable society and the individualism that shapes everyday America."
I agree with you on this quote because the tribe did serve as the individuality that helped survive Stafford and the culture. The heritage of the tribe also brought roots of different racial groups that was broken n ruined by the Law later on, which impacted the ancestral families and the expression of their relation to the tribal members.
