![“[The] Hopi earth does contain my roots and I am, indeed, from that land. Because the roots are there, I will find them. But when I find them, [my father] said, I must rebuild myself as a Hopi. I am not merely a conduit, but a participant. I am not a victim, but a woman.” quote by Wendy Rose](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/799/wendy-rose-69540_doe_the-hopi-earth-does-contain-my-roots-and_1135885.jpg)
