St. Martin’s indigenous ladies and gentlemen,

I am pleased to welcome you, and I appreciate your visit. You are going to enjoy your visit because your level of understanding and knowledge of your historical, cultural, and ancestral identity and your critical and analytical thinking skills are going to be enhanced. Indeed with these enhancements, you are going to be empowered to make on a local and global level important and favorable decisions that benefit all St. Martiners.

In addition, the following quote is one of my favorites.
“In general terms, who constructs collective identity, and for what, largely determines the symbolic content of this identity, and its meaning for those identifying with it or placing themselves outside of it.”

--Manuel Castells
