We warned that one day you would not be able to control what you have created. That day is here.
The river is our brother, it quenches our thirst and feeds our souls.
When the last tree is cut down, the last river poisened. The last fish caught. Then only the white man discover that he cannot eat money…
It’s all about lifting other’s spirits, the good medicine we all have within us.
Grandfather says: ‘If you feel powerless, it is because you have stopped listening to your own heart, that is where strength comes from’.
The Indian needs no writings; words that are true sink deep into his heart where they remain in silence. He never forgets them.
We don’t have to heal the Earth, she can heal herself. All we have to do is stop making her sick.

May the stars carry your sadness away. May the flowers fill your heart with beauty. May hope forever wipe away your tears, and above all, may the silence make you strong.

May the stars carry your sadness away, may the flowers fill your heart with beauty, may hope forever wipe away your tears, and, above all, may silence make you strong.
Everything on earth has a reason. For every disease there are herbs to cure. Every person is here with a mission.
Dream your dreams big enough; they get smaller and smaller until they land on Earth.
Everything on Earth is borrowed… There is no “Mine” or “Yours”… there is only “Ours”… Even Time is borrowed. We kill over a Plot of land, that belongs only to our Mother Earth. All you have is what you came in… and what you leave with… Your Spirit.

I salute the light within your eyes where the whole Universe dwells. For when you are at that centre within you and I am at that place within me, we shall be one.
