thank you mother for being my mother. thank you for your imperfect love that almost worked.mostly worked or partly worked. it was almost enough. >> okay. let me get myself together here. why was your mother's love imperfect? >> like many native american women now and in the past she was a target for all sorts of violence and oppression and racism and misogyny. i think the pain she endured growing up prevented her from being able to fully express her love and being able to fully trust the world. so i think in some ways she was not built to be a mother. it was more like blue collared labor for her. i think she had to concentrate. and the thing she ended up being, the thing she could do was she was dependable. she was a worker. my father was a random alcoholic. my mother sobered up and became the bread winner and paid the bills and kept electricity on. so in a lot of ways she ended up being my mother and my father. she ended up fulfilling every gender role inside of our family. and she did it without being very affectiont. i can remember her hugging me twice in my life. it's in

that i worked with my mother. the joy of my father giving me a baby lamb is a gift i had been asking for. playing dr. with the boy next door. one of my father's. after i got to my childhood neighborhood. i always enter through the damascus gates. although i was almost shocked right there. that was in 1989 when i came to participate in the international market. peace as well as a march was shattered. i was very frightened. one italian woman lost her eye. she came all the way from rome chancing peace. she left with one eye. in the old city i buy gifts i also by that. also i can bring a few pieces of jerusalem. is beautiful colors back to the u.s. to my home in the u.s. thank you very much.

mother was the only mother, we were the only family of three people, which made us very fortunate. everyone else, as far as i know, was alone. my mother, sister, and i survived by a stroke of luck. my sister was beaten badly and she was put -- our assumption was her name on the list indicated she was to go to the gas chamber. the three of us had a pact that if one of us was picked, three of us would go. i know, my feeling was -- i did not understand. i wanted so much, my biggest dream was to make the transition. to death holding on to my mother's hand and my sister's hand. so, the only logical thing was for my mother and me to trade places with two other women to see another sunrise. the following day, they called my sister's name and the names of the two other women, my mother and i reported with a group of people. absolutely sure that we are being walked to the gas chamber. instead, we were loaded onto a freight train and taken. there was a distinction between an extermination camp and slave labor camp. a slave labor camp, people also died but from extreme labor, lack of food. sl
