How can your God become our God and renew our prosperity and awaken in us dreams of returning greatness?

Your religion was written on tablets of stone, ours on our hearts. 8. We are part of the earth and the earth is part of us.

The white man's God cannot love our people or He would protect them. They seem to be orphans who can look nowhere for help. How then can we be brothers?

Our God, the Great Spirit, seems also to have forsaken us. Your God makes your people wax stronger every day. Soon they will fill all the land.

The earth does not belong to man, man belongs to the earth. All things are connected like the blood that unites us all. Man did not weave the web of life, he is merely a strand in it. Whatever he does to the web, he does to himself.

The earth is our mother. Whatever befalls the earth befalls the sons of earth. If men spit upon the ground, they spit upon themselves.

All things are connected. Whatever befalls the Earth, befalls the children of the Earth.
