Everybody feels they have been trespassed upon, and nearly everybody has trespassed on somebody else, maybe not intentionally.

I think the nomads really give us inspiration about how we can live in harmony with our environment.

There are so many great, great vintage clothes to find; there's a whole territory unexplored there.

I was in Kashmir last weekend. Went to visit one of my sweaters.

I met this homeless man who had never owned a shirt in his life. He had taken his pants and worn them as a shirt and I thought it was so creative. He was liberated from the conventions of fashion.

I own a shameless number of ethnic necklaces acquired at local markets in developing countries or inherited from my grandmother. These have seen me through meetings in Davos and visits to refugee camps.

I think of some of my friends who have passed to the spirit world but are who here with me when I go to events and when I walk in my own community. My sisters, Ingred, my sister Marsha, and my sister Nielock. All cofounders of the Indigenous Women's Network with me. All long time women activists in the native community.

Visits to crowded Indian urban centers unleash sensory assaults: colorful dress and lilting chatter provide a backdrop to every manner of commerce, from small shops to peddlers to beggars.

For casual wear, I'm obsessed with Onassis in Soho. Hip-preppy and well priced.

I have always been interested in people who live outside of the fabric of the norm.
