Humans merely share the Earth. We can only protect the land, not own it.

All things are bound together. All things connect.

Earth does not belong to us; we belong to earth. Take only memories, leave nothing but footprints.

Man does not weave this web of life. He is merely a strand of it. Whatever he does to the web, he does to himself.

All things share the same breath - the beast, the tree, the man... the air shares its spirit with all the life it supports.

Our religion is the traditions of our ancestors - the dreams of our old men, given them in solemn hours of the night by the Great Spirit; and the visions of our sachems, and is written in the hearts of our people.

Let him be just and deal kindly with my people, for the dead are not powerless. Dead, did I say? There is no death, only change of worlds.
