"The Earth does not belong to us; we belong to the Earth. This we know: all
things are connected like the blood which unites one family. Whatever befalls
the Earth befalls the Sons and Daughters of the Earth. We did not weave the Web
of Life; we are merely a strand in it. Whatever we do to the Web, we do to
ourselves.”
“ We are part of the earth and it is part of us. The perfumed
flowers are our sisters. The wolf, the deer, the great eagle ... these are our
brothers. When the last red man has vanished with this wilderness, and his
memory is only the shadow of a cloud moving across the land, will the wild wood
still be here?”
Chief Seattle, Suguamish Tribe, 1854
