``We are all related.'' / Mitakuye Oyasin`` -- It was my father's boast that the blood of a white man never reddened the hands of a single Indian of the Flathead tribe. My father died with that boast on his lips. I am my father's son and will leave that same boast to my children.'' / Chief Charlot -- ``The ground on which we stand is sacred ground. It is the blood of our ancestors.'' / Chief Plenty Coups -- ``The many powers of inner nature are hidden in everyone, and these are identified with Wakan-Tanka.'' -- Teton Sioux / We had only asked to be left in our homes: the homes of our ancestors. Our going was with heavy hearts, broken spirits. But all this is now placed back of us.'' / Nez Perce -- ``I was not brought from a foreign country and did not come here. I was put here by the Creator.'' / Chief Weninock -- ``The Great Spirit, in placing men on the Earth, desired them to take good care of the ground and do each other no harm....'' / Chief Young -- ``Whatever the gains, whatever the loss,they are yours.'' / Pahkatos Owyeen
