“Memory is life. It is always carried by groups of living people, and therefore it is in permanent evolution. It is subject to the dialectics of remembering and forgetting, unaware of its successive deformations, open to all kinds of use and manipulation . . . History is the always incomplete and problematic reconstruction of what is no longer there.”

Pierre Nora, Les lieux de la mémoire

“The only way to continue is to tell a story and there is no other way. Your children will not survive unless you tell something about them – how they were born, how they came to this certain place, how they continued.”

Simon Ortiz, A Good Journey
