Dr. Joel Fleischman:  Apparently this is a quote from Chief Seattle dated _ 1852 _ ... " The president in Washington sends word that he wishes to buy our land . But how can you buy or sell the sky , the land ? 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 of it . Whatever he does to the web he does to himself ... "
Maggie O'Connell: " ... Your destiny is a mystery to us . What will happen when the buffalo are all slaughtered ? " Or will some materialistic money - grubbing short - sighted sub - human sell it to other materialistic money - grubbing short - sighted sub - humans so they can ravage the land and cover it with concrete just so they can pay a few dollars less in taxes .
