“You are part of everything!
You are part of the fire; you are
part of the water.
You are part of the green, you
are part of the stars,
and you are related to
everything.
You are related to the stones,
to the trees, to the fish, to the
creepy-crawlers,
to the ones that fly, to the ones
that walk on all fours,
and to the ones that walk on two
legs.
Everything is sacred and,
therefore, you are sacred too.
That's what we mean when we say,
‘Mitakuye Oyasin’."
