We are part of the earth and it is part of us. The perfumes flowers are our sisters; the deer, the horse, the great eagle: these are our brothers. All things are connected like the blood which unites one's family.

Tribe follows tribe, nations follow nations like the tides of the sea. It is the order of nature, and regret is useless.

All things are bound together. All things connect.

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.

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

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

Your God is not our God! Your God loves your people and hates mine! He folds his strong protecting arms lovingly about the paleface and leads him by the hand as a father leads an infant son.
