NEXT UP! 2 190 You must teach your children that the ground beneath their feet is the ashes of your grandfathers. So that they will respect the land, tell your children that the earth is rich with the lives of our kin. Teach your children what we taught our children, that the earth is our mother. Whatever befalls the earth befalls the sons of the earth. If men spit upon the ground, they spit upon themselves. This we know: the earth does not belong to man; man belongs to the earth. This we know. All things are connected like the blood, which connects one family. All things are connected. Man does not weave the web of life; he is merely a strand in it. Whatever he does to the web, he does to himself. […] beneath – undir kin – ætt taught (to teach) – kenndi to befall – hér: henda to weave – vefa merely – aðeins a strand – þráður Scout, Taos Valley, New Mexico, Carl Moon (1878–1948)
