| Native American Chiefs taken 1865 by Mathew Brady Studio |
- We do not inherit the earth from our ancestors, we borrow it from our children.
- O' Great Spirit Whose voice I hear in the winds And whose breath gives life To all the world Hear me! I am small and weak, I need your strength and wisdom, Let me walk in beauty And make my eyes ever behold The red and purple sunset. Make my hands respect The things you have made.
- The Great Spirit is our Father, but the Earth is our Mother. She nourishes us.....That which we put into the ground she returns to us. Bedage.
- 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.
- We must protect the forests for our children, grandchildren and children yet to be born. We must protect the forests for those who can't speak for themselves such as the birds, animals, fish and trees. Qwatsinas.
- The land is sacred. These words are at the core of your being. The land is our mother, the rivers our blood. Take our land away and we die. That is, the Indian in us dies. Mary Brave Bird.
- The frog does not drink up the pond in which he lives.
- We do not inherit the earth from our ancestors, we borrow it from our children.
