What My Uncle Tony Told My Sister and Me




What My Uncle Tony Told My Sister and Me


Respect your mother and father.
Respect your brothers and sisters.
Respect your uncles and aunts.
Respect the land, the beginning.
Respect what is taught you.
Respect what you are named.
Respect the gods.
Respect yourself.
Everything that is around you
is a part of you.
