Chief Dan George

“The beauty of the trees, the softness of the air, the fragrance of the grass – they speak to me.
The summit of the mountain, the thunder of the sky, the rhythm of the sea – speaks to me.
The faintness of the stars, the freshness of the morning, the dewdrop on the flower - speaks to me.
The strength of the fire, the taste of salmon, the trail of the sun, and the life that never goes away – they speak to me. And my heart soars.”

- Chief Dan George, Earthprayers (ed.) E. Roberts & E. Amidon
