My Heart Soars by Chief Dan George




It is hard for me to understand a culture that spends more on wars and weapons to kill, than it does on education and welfare to help and develop.



When I pray, I pray for all living things.  When I thank, I thank for everything.



A man who lives and dies in the woods knows the secret life of trees. 



My people’s memory reaches into the beginning of all things.



Of all the teachings we receive this one is the most important:  nothing belongs to you of what there is, of what you take, you must share.



Do not despise the weak, it is compassion that will make you strong.



No longer can I sing a song to please the salmon.



What you do not know you will fear.  What one fears one destroys.
