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~~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Only after the last tree has been cut down,
Only after the last river has been poisoned,
Only after the last fish has been caught,
Only then will you find money cannot be eaten.
~~Cree Prophecy~~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Artist unknown
Father, I love your daughter
Will you give her to me
That the small roots of her heart
may entangle with mine,
So that the strongest wind that
blows shall never separate them.
It is true I love him only,
Whose heart is like the
Sweet juice that runs from
the sugar-tree and is
brother to the aspen leaf,
that always lives and shivers.
~~~Canadian Indian wedding vows~~~
The Creator above is the Great Spirit and the Great Mystery His gifts are plentiful therefore you want not. He holds
out a branch of love and protection and He draws you to
where the ground is undisturbed, where the air is pure
and the water is clear and clean enough to give life. You
walk, you breathe, you feed, for you are pleasured. The
times when your heart is weak, your circle is out of
balance, He lifts you up again and draws you to the good
Menominee road, for He is strength and wisdom."
Part of The Menominee Version of the
23rd Psalm
Artist unknown
If All The Beasts Were Gone,
Men Would Die From Loneliness Of Spirit.
Since Whatever Happens To The Beast
Also Happens To Man.
All Things Are Connected.
Whatever Befalls The Earth
Befalls The Sons Of The Earth.
