Knowing what you value and how much you value it,
is the fire that illuminates the dark.

The beauty of the trees,
the softness of the air,
the fragrance of the grass,
speaks to me.

The summit of the mountain,
the thunder of the sky,
the rhythm of the sea,
speaks to me.

The strength of the fire,
the taste of salmon,
the trail of the sun,
and the life that never goes away,
they speak to me.

And my heart soars.

~ Chief Dan George, Tsleil-Waututh (1899 - 1981)

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.

~ Chief Dan George, Tsleil-Waututh (1899 - 1981)
