“ In her new book, Going Rogue, Sarah Palin dips into the college hoops world for wisdom, using a quote from legendary UCLA coach John Wooden: ‘Our land is everything to us… I will tell you one of the things we remember on our land.

It’s actually a line written in a 1960 essay by Native American activist John Wooden Legs.
