All things are bound together. All things connect.

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

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.

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.

The white man's dead forget the country of their birth when they go to walk among the stars. Our dead never forget this beautiful Earth, for it is the mother of the red man. We are part of the Earth and it is part of us.

We are part of the earth and it is part of us ... What befalls the earth befalls all the sons of the earth.

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