A few of Cheif Seattle's quotes regarding our Planet Earth~ Their home must have been so beautiful~

“We do not inherit the earth from our ancestors; we borrow it from our children”
― Chief Seattle

“The earth is our mother. Whatever befalls the earth befalls the sons and daughters of 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 and daughters of the earth. We did not weave the web of life, we are merely strands in it. Whatever we do to the web we do to ourselves.”

“Humankind has not woven the web of life. We are but one thread within it. Whatever we do to the web, we do to ourselves. All things are bound together. All things connect.”


“When the green hills are covered with talking wires and the wolves no longer sing, what good will the money you paid for our land be then”
