This we know... the earth does not belong to man, man belongs to earth.
All things are connected, like the blood which connects one family. Whatever
befalls the earth befalls the children of the earth. Man did not weave the web of life -
he is merely a strand in it. Whatever he does to the web, he does to himself.
- Chief Seattle, 1854
