Lockwood:...just through my lifetime I've seen so many changes in our communities that it just hurts, it's really scary to lose our tradition, our culture. We've been living here for thousands of years and it's not just that we're losing our food, it's losing our homes because we are spiritually connected and emotionally and physically connected to our homes. There are so many communities that are in trouble. It's an emergency, we need to take action now."
