Nasio Fontaine Quotes

"When I was a kid, I used to see pictures of cowboys and Indians, and said, 'Mom, why the cowboys always win? They always win!' I realize now that what I felt as a kid looking at those movies was really the feeling of being linked to my people. So I'm really, really proud to be Carib! When you look at me, you can see Indian. I met a Cherokee guy in Pennsylvania recently; he just came up and hugged me! When I went to Arizona, the Indian people say 'When you gonna come see us?'"

"Growing up, as a kid in school, I always felt different. I was the baby who wouldn't drink sweetened tea. I rebelled against a lot of stuff. Like I hated music in class! So Thursdays, music class, I'd skip class. I just wanted to play guitar or sing, they would just teach scales.
