The following is the transcript of a Foellinger balcony narrative from April 14, 2000. It is an unedited excerpt from the original Chief dialogue document.
MR. MARK BUTCHER: Mark Butcher. I came here from North Carolina, I am against the idea that Native American heritage is being defiled in the eyes of our people and with little to say, the main thing I would like to say is we hear each other's words and as the words of people who have the authority to speak more wisely about the issue today are heard, instead of just with ears, I hope their words are heard with the hearts of other people so that the feelings of our people can be understood. It's time for all of us to look at our heritage and to begin to understand the importance of having a mutual respect for each other. That's my prayer and hope today. That's all I have to say.
