Teach your children what we have taught our children, that the earth is our
mother.
What ever befalls the earth befalls the sons of the earth.
If men spit upon the ground, they spit upon themselves.
This we know: The earth does not belong to man, man belongs
to the earth.
This we know. All things are connected like the blood which
unites one family. All things are connected.
Whatever befalls the earth befalls the sons of the earth.
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.
— Chief Seattle
