“I think the difference between this Journey and the other Hoop Journeys over the years is that this one is beyond just drug and alcohol recovery. We are going to touch thousands of people. I think it is rare in a lifetime that you ever get to participate in an idea whose time has come. Now we know that forgiveness is our hope––both short term, medium term and long term. It is the beginning of healing and wellbeing for Indian people. We now have a chance to break the cycle of missed opportunity and hopelessness our people have known. We know for sure that equal to love is forgiveness. Our freedom lies in that. I think it is time. I think the people are willing for it to happen. It’s already happening. The whole system has a chance to heal now.”
