"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 as Indian does is in a circle, and 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, Oglala Sioux Holy Man 1863-...Expand for more

"One does not sell the land people walk on." ... Crazy Horse, Sept. 23, 1875

respect others in their view,
and demand that they respect yours." Chief Tecumseh
"There is no death. Only a change of worlds." Chief Seattle
"The Circle has healing power. In the Circle, we are all equal. When in the Circle, no one is in front of you. No one is behind you. No one is above you. No one is below you. The Sacred Circle is designed to create unity. The Hoop of Life is also a circle. On this hoop there is a place for every species, every race, every tree and every plant. It is this completeness of Life that must be respected in order to bring about health on this planet." ~Dave Chief, Oglala Lakota~
"The old Lakota was wise. He knew that man's heart away from nature becomes hard." ~Luther Standing Bear, Oglala Sioux~
While it is always best to believe in one's self, a little help from others can be a great blessing. ~ Uncle Iroh
Pride is not the opposite of shame, but it's source. True humility is the only antidote to shame. ~ Uncle Iroh
There are reasons each of us are born. We have to find those reasons. ~ Uncle Iroh
It is usually, best to admit mistakes when they occur and to seek to restore honour. ~ Uncle Iroh
It is important to draw wisdom from many different places. If you take it from only one place, it becomes rigid and stale. Understanding others, the four elements, the other nations, will help you become whole. ~ Uncle Iroh".
