"In the beginning we were told that the human beings who walk about on the Earth have been provided with all the things necessary for life. We were instructed to carry a love for one another, and to show a great respect for all the beings of this Earth…and gratitude toward all the spirits which create and support Life…When people cease to respect and express gratitude for these many things, then all life will be destroyed, and human life on this planet will come to an end..."

"...The people who are living on this planet need to break with the narrow concept of human liberation and begin to see liberation as something that needs to be extended to the whole of the Natural World. What is needed is the liberation of all things that support Life-the air, the waters, the trees-all the things which support the sacred web of Life."
