Chief Dan George Quotes

• One thing to remember is to talk to the animals. If you do, they will talk back to you. But if you don't talk to the animals, they won't talk back to you, then you won't understand, and when you don't understand you will fear, and when you fear you will destroy the animals, and if you destroy the animals, you will destroy yourself.

• The beauty of the trees, the softness of the air, the fragrance of the grass, they speak to me. The summit of the mountain, the thunder of the sky, the rhythm of the sea, speaks to me. The faintness of the stars, the freshness of the morning, the dewdrop on the flower, speaks to me. The strength of the fire, the taste of the salmon, the trail of the sun, and the life that never goes away, they speak to me. And my heart soars.

• Love is something you and I must have. We must have it because our spirit feeds upon it. We must have it because without it we become weak and faint. Without love our self-esteem weakens. Without it our courage fails. Without love we can no longer look out confidently at the world.

• Pronto llegará el momento en que mi nieto anhelará el grito de un somorgujo, el destello de un salmón, el susurro de las agujas de un abeto o el chillido de un águila. Pero no se hará amigo de ninguna de estas criaturas y cuando su corazón se duela de añoranza, me maldecirá. ¿He hecho todo lo posible para mantener el aire fresco? ¿Me he preocupado lo suficiente por el agua? ¿He dejado que el águila vuele en libertad? ¿He hecho todo lo posible para ganarme el cariño de mi nieto?
