| Only after the last tree has been cut down, Only after the last river has been poisoned, Only after the last fish has been caught, Only then will you find money cannot be eaten. Cree Prophecy |
| Thoughts are like arrows; once released, they strike their mark. Guard them well or one day you may be your own victim. Navajo |
| For the strength of the Pack is the Wolf and the strength of the Wolf is the Pack~ Kipling |
| The White Man must treat the beasts of this land as his brother.What is man without the beasts? If all the beasts were gone, man would die from a great loneliness of spirit. For whatever happens to the beasts, also happens to the man. Chief Seattle |
| The Earth is the Mother of all people, and all people should have equal rights upon it. You might as well expect the river to run backward as that any man who was born a free man should be contented when penned up and denied liberty to go where he pleases. Joseph [Hinmaton Yalatkit] (1830-1904) Nez Perce chief |
| "If you talk to the animals they will talk with you and you will know each other. If you do not talk to them you will not know them and what you do not know, you will fear. What one fears, one destroys." Chief Dan George |
| You have noticed that everything as Indian does is in a circle, and that is because the Power of the World always works in circles, and everything tries to be round..... The Sky is round, and I have heard that the earth is round like a ball, and so are all the stars. The wind, in its greatest power, whirls. Birds make their nest in circles, for theirs is the same religion as ours.... Even the seasons form a great circle in their changing, and always come back again to where they were. The life of a man is a circle from childhood to childhood, and so it is in everything where power moves. Black Elk |
| We do not want churches because they teach to quarrel about God, and we do not want to learn that. We may quarrel with men sometimes about things on earth. But never quarrel about God. We do not want to learn that. Chief Joseph Nez Perce |
