“We are not alone.The spirits of those gone before guide our steps,our traditions,our beliefs.We are not alone.The care of those around us leads us to healing and wholeness and comfort.Mohawk/Onondaga Healer”

“It is our feelings that guide us and they can never lead us wrong”

“We are like chameleons, we take our hue and the color of our moral character, from those who are around us.”

“It is our task in our time and in our generation to hand down undiminished to those who come after us, as was handed down to us by those who went before, the natural wealth and beauty which is ours.”

“Besides this earth, and besides the race of men, there is an invisible world and a kingdom of spirits: that world is around us, for it is everywhere; and those spirits watch us, for they are commissioned to gaurd us; and if we were dying in pain and shame, if scorn smote us on all sides, and hatred crushed us, angels see our tortures, recognize our innocence, and God waits ony a speration of spirit from flesh to crown us with a full reward.”

“The question is how our own meanings are related to those of the universe as a whole. We could say that our action toward the whole universe is a result of what it means to be us.”
