Take Only Memories, Leave Only Footprints.

You Must Teach Your Children That The Ground Beneath Their Feet Is The Ashes Of Your Grandfathers. So That They Will Respect The Land, Tell Your Children That The Earth Is Rich With The Lives Of Our Kin. Teach Your Children What We Have Taught Our Children, That The Earth Is Our Mother. Whatever Befalls The Earth Befalls The Sons Of The Earth. If Men Spit Upon The Ground, They Spit Upon Themselves.

Man Does Not Weave This Web Of Life. He Is Merely A Strand Of It. Whatever He Does To The Web, He Does To Himself.

The Air Is Precious To The Red Man, For All Things Share The Same Breath-the Beast, The Tree, The Man, They All Share The Same Breath. The White Man Does Not Seem To Notice The Air He Breathes. Like A Man Dying For Many Days, He Is Numb To The Stench.

. . . 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.

All Things Share The Same Breath - The Beast, The Tree, The Man... The Air Shares Its Spirit With All The Life It Supports.
