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

This We Know. All Things Are Connected

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 earth does not belong to man, man belongs to the earth. All things are connected like the blood that unites us all. Man did not weave the web of life, he is merely a strand in it. Whatever he does to the web, he does to himself.

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

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