Healing Totem stops at the Mohegan Reservation


[Drumming and chanting]
[Lynn Malerba:]
I'm thrilled that the people who were so responsible for this totem pole created such a beautiful work of art and a lasting memory for people to remember that native peoples are what this country is founded upon.
[Speaking in Native language]
[Malerba:]
We are so honored and so proud to have you join us, because as we all know native peoples have struggled to make sure that their needs have been met from a health perspective but what has always been met is their community perspective and their commitment to one another and it is a testament to all native peoples that you have undertaken this journey today.
