This is my favorite quote: An Earlier View

"We did not think of the Great Open Plains, the rolling hills and the winding streams with tangled growth, as ‘Wild.’ Only to the white man was nature a ‘Wilderness’ and only to him was the land ‘Infested’ with ‘Wild’ animals and ‘Savage’ people. To us it was tame. Earth was bountiful and we were surrounded with the Blessings of the Great Mystery." – Chief Standing Bear of the Lakota
