The modern Mvskoke' has a difficult road to travel. We, like all Native Americans, walk a narrow road, with modern America on one side and the ways brought down from our grandfathers on the other side. We must attempt to preserve the spirit and teachings of the old ways, the immense respect for all life in all of its forms, the perspective that allows us to survuve. Yet, we must also exist in the modern world. We cannot ignore televisions and automobiles and the impending threat of nuclear holocaust. We do not accept everything that is Ancient just because our grandfathers said and did things a certain way. We know that their understanding of the world was often imperfect. Consequently, some of their practices are dying out and are no longer needed. We don't accept everything about modern world just because the people around us do. We have learned to pick what serves us, not what we must serve. Gently, we tread the road between these two worlds.
