In the past, American Indian War Societies were tasked with ensuring their peoples' survival during times of conflict and war. It is time that these disciplined, War Societies be revived to protect our Indian Nations' sovereignty over their lands, resources, and peoples and our urban population. We need the physical and mental strength, the confident and resolute conviction, the education and connection to our Indian identities, the leadership and protection of our Warrior Class. Our War Societies must possess and act upon the highest moral obligation and duty for the continued survival of Indian peoples and their strong and vibrant future.
