“The original instructions direct that we who walk about the earth are to express a great respect and affection and a gratitude toward all the spirits that create and support life. We give a greeting and a thanksgiving to the many supporters of our own lives – the plants, animals, the water, air, and the sun. When people cease to respect and express gratitude for these many things, then all life will be destroyed, and human life on planet earth will come to an end.” – Iroquois Message to the United Nations.
