There is this picture I have got
It really caught my eye when I
saw it. It is an Indian picture and
it says this on it.
Your religious calling was written on plates of stone by the flaming finger of an angry God.
Our religion was established by the traditions of our ancestors.
The dreams of our elders that are given to them
in the silent hours of the night by the great spirit,
and the premonitions of the learned beings.
It is written in the hearts of our people, thus,
we do not require churches - which would only lead us
to argue about God.
We do not wish this.
Earthly things may be argued about with men, but we never argue over God. And the thought that white men should rule over Nature and change its ways following his liking, was never understood by the Red Men.
Our belief is that the great spirit has created all things,
Not just mankind, but all animals, all plants, all rocks,,,
all on earth and amongst the stars, with true soul, for us all life is Holy.
