Walk tall as the trees;
Live strong as the mountains,
be gentle as the springs winds,
keep the warmth of the summer sun
in your heart, and the Great Spirit
will always be with you.

It was not given to you by your parents,
it was loaned to you by your children.
We do not inherit the Earth from our ancestors,
we borrow it from our children.’
