NATIVE AMERICAN ART and PROVERBS Vol. 1

Treat the earth well.

           It was not given to you by your parents, it was loaned to you by your children.

             We do not inherit the Earth from our Ancestors,  we borrow it from our Children.

 Ancient Indian Proverb

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 have 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.  Unknown

Humankind has not woven the web of life.  We are but one thread within it.

  Whatever we do to the web, we do to ourselves.  All things are bound together.

 All things connect. ~ Chief Seattle, 1854 ~

I do not think the measure of a civilization is how tall its buildings of concrete are,

 But rather how well its people have learned to relate to their environment and fellow man.

  Sun Bear of the Chippewa Tribe

  1. this fire in new mexico ! what terrible news! i wonder if everything is ok in mescalero!
    you are right france is only my location , i’m from this planet like you! mother earth needs love of all the human being .i hope that my curiosity was not too much impolite that was not my intention! let me know !

    • I understand your curiousity. It is only natural. Let’s direct attention to the bad fires in New Mexico.
      It has consumed 1000′s of acres of forest. Direct positive enery to those fighting the fire and those
      living in the area. May they be kept safe from harm! May animals find shelter.

  2. “We are not free, separate and independant entities, but like links in a chain[or threads in a tapestry]…and we could not by any means be what we are without those who went before us to show us the way.” -Thomas Mann-

    “A [friendship] is like a tapestry. The fabric is strongest where the threads that hold it togethere are spu of openess, trust and love.”
