There
is an ancient Indian saying that something lives only as long as the
last person who remembers it. My people have come to trust memory over
history. Memory, like fire, is radiant and immutable while history
serves only those who seek to control it, those who douse the flame of
memory in order to put out the dangerous fire of truth. Beware these men
for they are dangerous themselves and unwise. Their false history is
written in the blood of those who might remember and of those who seek
the truth.
