He told the story of the Iroquois League and the Seneca, Mohawk, Cayuga, Oneida and Onondaga’s contributions to politics and the political process of our fore fathers who arrived six hundred years after the Iroquois and how Sequoia began developing the first Native american alphabet and who along with his daughter Ayoka helped to establish it with his 'Talking leaves' or letters which he saw Europeans doing so effectively. E ne de na also mentioned contributions in science as Native Americans developed irrigation systems, transportation systems, pharmacology and plants to heal. And the story of John Harrington, the first Native American to go into outer space and how when major tsunamis attack shores across the world and the EPA realized that when natural disasters such as these hit, indigenous science is so amazing that not one indigenous life has been lost due to their knowledge of their environment and their relationships with the animals and birds who aid them in being able to tell if disaster is about to strike. He concluded by saying that he admires the Kickapoo for making great strides to hold on to their language and traditions which are unparalleled and the KTTT is even working diligently to develop a head start and pre-school with an all Kickapoo curriculum being developed by Selia Jimenez and Arturo Garza Herrera which will continue to maintain Kickapoo language, culture and tradition. The Kickapoo are also making great srides economically as the second largest employer in Maverick County. So as Me chi mi si ka danced and jangled his ankle bells and the rest of his traditional attire including a spectacularly symmetrical chest plate of bone and twine as the guttural songs and chants of Kickapoo music filled the air, the Kickapoo tradition is alive and well in Eagle Pass and that is good.
