How can you buy the sky ?Chief Seattle began.

How can you own the rain

and the wind ?My mother told me,

Every part of this earth is sacred toour people.

Every pine needle, every sandy shore.

Every meadow and humming insect.

All are holy in the memory of ourpeople.

My father said to me,I know the sap that coursesthrough the trees,

as I know the blood that flowsthrough my veins.

We are part of the earthand it is part of us.

The perfumed flowers are oursisters.

The bear, the deer, the great eagle,these are our brothers.

The rocky crests, the meadows, the

ponies - all belong to the same family.The voice of my ancestors said to me.

The shining water that moves in thestreams and rivers is not simplywater, but the blood of yourgrandfathers grandfather.

Each ghostly reflection in the clearwaters of the lakes tell of thememories in the life of our people.

The waters murmur is the voice of yourgreat - great grandmother

The rivers are our brothers.They quench are thirst.

They carry our canoes and feed our chil-dren.

You must give to the rivers thekindness you would give to any brother.

The voice of my grandfather said to me.The air is precious. It shares itsspirit with all the life it supports.

The wind that gives me my firstbreath also receives my last sigh.

You must keep the land and air apartand sacred, as a place where one cango to taste the wind that is

sweetened by the meadow flowers.13

When the last Red Man and Woman have

vanished with their wilderness,and their memory is only the shadow of acloud moving across the prairie, will theshores and forest still be there ?

Will there be any of the spirit of mypeople left ?

My ancestors said to me, This we know:

The earth does not belong to us.

We belong to the earth.

Hear my voice and the voice of myancestors, Chief Seattle said.

The destiny of your people is amystery to us.

What will happen when the buffaloare all slaughtered ?

The wild horses tamed ?

What will happen when the secret cornersof the forest are heavy with the scent ofmany men ?

When the view of the ripe hills is

blotted by talking wires ?Where will the thicket be ? Gone.

Where will the eagle be ? Gone.

And what will happen when we saygood - bye to the swift ponyand the hunt ?

It will be the end of livingand the beginning of survival.

This we all know:All things are connected like theblood that unites us.

We did not weave the web of life,

We are merely a strand in it.

Whatever we do to the web,we do to ourselves.

We love this earth as a newborn loveshis mothers heartbeat.

If we sell you the land, care for it as wehave cared for it.

Hold in your mind the memory of the landas it is when you receive it.

Preserve the land and the air and the

rivers for your childrens childrenand love it as we have loved it.
