La Terre
“Nous le savons: la terre n’appartient pas à l’homme, c’est l’homme qui appartient à la terre. Nous le savons: toutes choses sont liées. Tout ce qui arrive à la terre arrive aux fils de la terre.
L’homme n’a pas tissé la toile de la vie, il n’est qu’un fil de tissu. Tout ce qu’il fait à la toile, il le fait à lui-même.”
Seattle, chef Indien Suquamish
