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.

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

If all the beasts were gone, men would die from a great loneliness of spirit, for whatever happens to the beasts also happens to the man. All things are connected. Whatever befalls the Earth befalls the sons of the Earth.

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

When the green hills are covered with talking wires and the wolves no longer sing, what good will the money you paid for our land be then

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.

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.
