There are very few limits but the limits we impose on ourselves

[Bird:]: Over time, as time has gone on, I’ve gotten a little grey here. I think one of the things is there really are very few limits, but the limits that we impose on ourselves. But when you have a society out there who does at times impose limits on, on populations and certain segments of the population within this country, sometimes people believe that. And I could have believed some of those things—that Indians were lazy and just not as smart. Indians are all drunks. Indians are all these negative sort of things, but again I was fortunate because there was enough people out there who encouraged and supported me and my beliefs, and my dreams, and my aspirations.
[Lindberg:]: So you have some personal counter examples.
[Bird:]: Oh, yeah, because you have to have that.
