A few quotes from Chief Seattle of the Duwamish Tribe:
"Humankind has not woven the web of life. We are but one thread within it. Whatever we do to the web, we do to ourselves. All things are bound together. All things connect."
"The Earth does not belong to man, man belongs to the Earth. This we know. The earth is our mother. Whatever befalls the earth befalls the sons and daughters of the earth. All things are connected like the blood which unites one family."
"When the green hills are covered with talking wires and the wolves no longer sing, what good will the money you paid for our land be then?"
"We do not inherit the earth from our ancestors; we borrow it from our children."
"Take only memories, leave nothing but footprints."
"Our religion is the traditions of our ancestors…the dreams of our old men, given to them in the solemn hours of the night by the Great Spirit and the visions of our sachems…it is written in the hearts of our people."
"All things share the same breath - the beast, the tree, the man. The air shares its spirit with all the life it supports."
We are all connected…what affects one affects all
