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

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.

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.

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.

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.
