“We can’t eat money, I don’t have a recipe for frying it or baking it. But we can eat our fish, our moose — our berries are out there, our medicines are out there, our clean water is out there. We have recipes for that. But we can’t eat money. Money can be spent. Once you’ve got it, it’s gone. Then you want more. We just want to keep what we have.”
