There is no such place as away.

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

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

Man does not weave this web of life. He is merely a strand of it. Whatever he does to the web, he does to himself.

To us, the ashes of our ancestors are sacred and their resting place is hallowed ground.

Every part of the earth is sacred to my people.

Man belongs to the Earth, Earth does not belong to man
