"I do not think the measure of a civilization
is how tall its buildings of concrete are,
But rather how well its people have learned to relate
to their environment and fellow man."
Sun Bear of the Chippewa Tribe
"If you live on this land, and you have ancestors sleeping in this land, I believe that makes you a native to this land. It has nothing to do with the color of your skin. I was not raised to look at people racially. What I was taught is that we're flowers in the Great Spirit's garden. We share a common root, and the root is Mother Earth."
Oh Shinnah
"We may be different tribes, but we're all brothers and sisters." Opal Gore, Comanche Nation
"We need to all work together as a nation of one tribe, the tribe of Human Kind, to make this world a good place for all. That all starts with education of the young."
Howard Lyons, Mohawk Wolf Clan
"To survive you've got to depend on each other, that's the way. If we didn't get along a long time ago, and if the people didn't agree and come together and help one another, we wouldn't have survived the hardships. So, we have to learn to bring that back. We have to learn how to put our differences aside rather than getting into "this person has more money" or "that person has more money", or, "this person has more knowledge" or "that person has more knowledge". We have to learn to get along. We don't have time to be arguing and putting each other down, there's no time for that anymore. "
Nathan Chasing Horse, Lakota Tribe
