Popular Chief Seattle Quotes

Man did not weave the web of life, he is merely a strand in it. Whatever he does to the web, he does to himself. All things are bound together. All things connect.

... the deer, the horse, 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 White Man must treat the beasts of this land as his brothers.

This we know... the earth does not belong to man, man belongs to the earth. All things are connected, like the blood which connects one family. Whatever befalls the earth befalls the children of the earth. Man did not weave the web of life he is merely a strand in it. Whatever he does to the web, he does to himself.

The earth does not belong to man, man belongs to the earth.
