"Treat the earth well: it was not given to you by your parents,
it was loaned to you by your children. We do not inherit the Earth
from our Ancestors, we borrow it from our Children."
--Ancient Indian Proverb

You have noticed that everything an Indian does is in a circle,
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, Holy Man
