== =WELCOME TO THE 2012-2013= =// INDIAN ED @ MERRILL WIKI!//= //**We are young American Indian scholars. We must vigorously search within ourselves for the strength to silence the distractions and obstacles in our lives. Knowledge is precious. To gain perspective on the events and experiences our ancestors endured, we seek sacred wisdom. We will honor our families, our people, and ourselves by seeking harmony, respect, honesty, humility, courage, and generosity. We accept the challenge of inspiring hope for the future.**//
