THE INDIGENOUS PEOPLES LITERATURE

Rediscovering What Has Always Been There

 

'REMEMBER'"Treat this earth well: it is not a present from your parents, it is on loan to your children.

 

The people who enrich their minds are those who keep their history on the leaves of memory."

 

"When will we ever begin to understand the meaning of the soil underneath our feet? From a tiny grain of sand to the largest mountain, everything is sacred.

 

Our living saints are the evergreen trees. We have no buildings or steeples. The landscape and lakes are our churches and cathedrals.

 

These are our sacred buildings. Yesterday and tomorrow exist forever upon our mother, the earth."
