(GSM): Chief Seattle's Creed

[Guest guest]

Dear Gerlinde,

 

i will post some native literature, which you might like to collect, that is,

perhaps record the Post Nos. so when it comes time to gather these materials for

the 'Editor's Choice', you will know where to locate them. What i might also do,

from now on is put these initials in front on the subject heading:

 

(GSM):

 

That way you can also find this material, if you do a Search in the Search Box

and just type (GSM)!

 

i hope this helps,

Chief Seattle's Creed

 

Every part of this earth is sacred to my people. Every shining pine needle,

every sandy shore, every mist in the dark woods, every meadow, every humming

insect. All are holy in the memory and experience of my people. We know the sap

that courses through the tree as we know the blood that courses through our

veins. We are part of the earth and it is part of us. The perfumed flowers are

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

rocky crests, the juices in the meadows, the body heat of the pony, and man, all

belong to the same family. The shining water that moves in the stream and river

is not just water but the blood of our ancestors... Will you teach your children

what we have taught our children? That the earth is our mother? What befalls the

earth, befalls all the sons of the earth. This we know; the earth does not

belong to man, man belongs to the earth. All things are connected like the blood

that connects us all. Man does not weave the web of life, he is merely a strand

in it. Whatever he does to the web, he does to himself. - Chief Seattle, 1855
