“We cultivated our land, but in a way different from the white man. We endeavored to live with the land; they seemed to live off it. I was taught to preserve, never to destroy.”
Tom Dystra

“The land is my mother. Like a human mother, the land gives us protection, enjoyment, and provides our needs – economic, social, and religious. We have a human relationship with the land: Mother, daughter, son. When the land is taken from us or destroyed, we feel hurt because we belong to the land, and we are part of it.”
Djinyini Gondarra

@RadishRose I read that when Chief Joseph returned to the areas of their land, he said what land he wanted. He was told no, that was the best land. It was so heartbreaking to read. It was their land. We can't put that back in the bottle but it's still heartbreaking.

Thank you Remy, sorry I didn't see this until now. How incredibly sad!
