“Man sometimes thinks he’s been elevated to be the controller, the ruler, but he’s not. He’s only part of the whole. Man’s job is not to exploit, but to oversee, to be a steward. Man has responsibility, not power.”
~ Oren Lyons ~ Faithkeeper
"There is hope if people will begin to awaken that spiritual part of themselves...that heartfelt knowledge that we are caretakers of this planet."
~ Brooke Medicine Eagle
The faces of our future generations are looking up to us from the earth and we step with great care not to disturb our grandchildren.
~Traditional Circle of Elders
Lumbee elder Vernon Cooper says “Everything I know I learned by listening and watching. Nowadays people learn out of books instead. Doctors study what man has learned. I pray to understand what man has forgotten”.
