Cheewa James, Modoc
"Understandings for all Human Beings:
Reverence for the environment.
Importance and love of family.
Value placed on silence, personal truth, introspection and "questing".
Respect for the elders.
Acceptance of death as part of the natural order.
Acknowledgement that each human being is special and has worth.
The belief that we are all related."
