"I don’t really concern myself that much with what I wear. I’d rather have something that’s comfortable, free flowing. So when I saw this dress, it just really caught my eye… I’ve had one priest look at me and say, ‘Why didn’t they make our vestments like that?’ I thought, Well, if he wants something like this as a vestment, then maybe that’s power for me."
"I left Zuni knowing who I was. My identity, where I came from. And what I took to the mainstream society helped me because I left with my identity. And it never left me."
"I’m at the point in my life where I’m saying okay, I wanna know what my culture is, and how I can participate, and what it really means to be a Zuni woman... I think that’s what’s also helping me to feel more powerful."
