. . . the deer, the horse, the great eagle, these are our brothers. The rocky crests, the juices in the meadows, the body heat of the pony and man - all belong to the same family. . . . The White Man must treat the beasts of this land as his brothers.

To harm the earth is to heap contempt on its creator.

Humankind has not woven the web of life. We are but one thread within it. Whatever we do to the web, we do to ourselves. All things are bound together. All things connect.

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

Only when the last tree has died and the last river has been poisoned and the last fish has been caught will we realise that we can not eat money.

We are all children of the Great Spirit, we all belong to Mother Earth. Our planet is in great trouble and if we keep carrying old grudges and do not work together, we will all die.

We are a part of the earth and it is part of us.
