All things are connected, like the blood that runs in your family "The water's murmur is the voice of my father's father." 1854 The rivers are our brothers. They quench our thirst. They carry our canoes and feed our children. You must give to the rivers the kindness you would give to any brother.

There is no death, only a change of worlds.

There is no such place as away.

We do not inherit the earth from our ancestors; we borrow it from our children

Every part of the earth is sacred to my people.

Contaminate your bed and you will one night suffocate in your own waste.

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