The earth does not belong to man, man belongs to the earth. All things are connected like the blood that unites us all. Man did not weave the web of life, he is merely a strand in it. Whatever he does to the web, he does to himself.

More quotes by Chief Seattle
What is man without the beasts? If all the beasts were gone, men would die from great loneliness of spirit
Chief Seattle
Your God is not our God! Your God loves your people and hates mine! He folds his strong protecting arms lovingly about the paleface and leads him by the hand as a father leads an infant son.
Chief Seattle
We are a part of the earth and it is part of us.
Chief Seattle
Earth does not belong to us we belong to earth. Take only memories, leave nothing but footprints.

When the Earth is sick, the animals will begin to disappear, when that happens, The Warriors of the Rainbow will come to save them.
Chief Seattle
All creation is one. What we do to one, we do to the entire web of life.
Chief Seattle
Take only memories, leave only footprints.
Chief Seattle

Chief Seattle
All things are connected. Whatever befalls the Earth, befalls the children of the Earth.

The water's murmur is the voice of my father's father.
Chief Seattle
Let him be just and deal kindly with my people, for the dead are not powerless. Dead, did I say? There is no death, only change of worlds.
Chief Seattle
All things share the same breath - the beast, the tree, the man... the air shares its spirit with all the life it supports.
Chief Seattle
We know that the white man does not understand our ways. One portion of land is the same to him as the next, for he is a stranger who comes in the night and takes from the land whatever he needs. The earth is not his brother, but his enemy, and when he has conquered it, he moves on.
Chief Seattle
Your religion was written on tablets of stone, ours on our hearts. 8. We are part of the earth and the earth is part of us.
Chief Seattle
We do not inherit the earth from our ancestors we borrow it from our children
Chief Seattle
I will not dwell on, nor mourn over, our untimely decay, nor reproach my paleface brothers with hastening it, as we too may have been somewhat to blame.
Chief Seattle
All things are connected like the blood which unites one family.
Chief Seattle
Contaminate your bed and you will one night suffocate in your own waste.
