We respect his remarks. But we don't feel we're part of Utah. We're a sovereign nation. Our boss is our chairman.

My boss recently filed for divorce and out of respect for all the things she's going through, we're not going to comment on her private life.

We didn't think anything of it. Then, all of a sudden a boss called out and said 'follow us' and we started running.

There's not much out here. All we have is land. We don't have a big river running through our reservation, or timber. Any kind of development would be better than what's here.

We're all related in one way or the other.

People say this will destroy the land. But how can you poison what is already poisoned?
