Man Belongs To The Earth, Earth Does

To Harm The Earth Is To Heap Contempt On Its Creator.

Will You Teach Your Children What We Have Taught Our Children? That The Earth Is Our Mother? What Befalls The Earth Befalls All The Sons Of The Earth. This We Know: The Earth Does Not Belong To Man, Man Belongs To The Earth. All Things Are Connected Like The Blood That Unites Us All. Man Did Not Weave The Web Of Life, He Is Merely A Strand In It. Whatever He Does To The Web, He Does To Himself. One Thing We Know: Our God Is Also Your God. The Earth Is Precious To Him And To Harm The Earth Is To Heap Contempt On Its Creator.

We Are All Children Of The Great Spirit, We All Belong To Mother Earth. Our Planet Is In Great Trouble And If We Keep Carrying Old Grudges And Do Not Work Together, We Will All Die.

The White Man's Dead Forget The Country Of Their Birth When They Go To Walk Among The Stars. Our Dead Never Forget This Beautiful Earth, For It Is The Mother Of The Red Man. We Are Part Of The Earth And It Is Part Of Us.

. . . The Deer, The Horse, The Great Eagle, These Are Our Brothers. The Rocky Crests, The Juices In The Meadows, The Body Heat Of The Pony And Man - All Belong To The Same Family. . . . The White Man Must Treat The Beasts Of This Land As His Brothers.
