Whatever Seattle says, the great chief at Washington can rely upon with as much certainty as he can upon the return of the sun or the seasons.
From Chief Seattle
Humans merely share the earth. We can only protect the land, not own it.
Revenge by young men is considered gain, even at the cost of their own lives, but old men who stay at home in times of war, and mothers who have sons to lose, know better.
Day and night cannot dwell together. The Red Man has ever fled the approach of the White Man, as the morning mist flees before the morning sun.
There is no death, only a change of worlds.
My people are few. They resemble the scattering trees of a storm-swept plain.
To us, the ashes of our ancestors are sacred and their resting place is hallowed ground.
