Everywhere is the center of the world. Everything is sacred.

Everything an Indian does is in a circle, and that is because the power of the world always works in circles.

Whether it happened so or not I do not know; but if you think about it you can see that it is true.

I cured with the power that came through me. Of course, it was not I who cured,it was the power from the Outer World; the visions and ceremonies only made me like a whole through which the power could come to the two-leggeds. If I thought that I was doing it myself, the hole would close up and no power could come through. Then everything I could do would be foolish.

After the horse dance was over, it seemed that I was above the ground and did not touch it when I walked.

Hear me, four quarters of the world-a relative I am! Give me the strength to walk the soft earth, a relative to all that is! Give me the eyes to see and the strength to understand, that I may be like you. With your power only can I face the winds.

So I took the bright red stick and at the center of the nation's hoop I thrust it in the earth.
