The wolf is wearing the pelt of a lamb
When the Creator gave His Great Law and planted the great tree of peace, He uprooted it, and He threw under it all the weapons of war. He said: You are now a nation of peace; and that will be your strength.
That will be what you depend on, the spiritual power, a belief. And if you have one mind, and you consider this again, it is the power that you have. And all of the animals stop and they listen; they turn, and they listen to these words.
Our brothers, they are Natives like we are. At one time we spoke their language; at one time we conversed, a long time ago. The two-leggeds have fallen from grace. Those animals and those wingeds, they live in a state of absolute grace; they can do no wrong. It is only we who have been given a choice. We were born with a mission, and we must know what it is and develop it and do it. And that’s a choice— that is your choice.
We are indigenous people to this land. We are like a conscience. We are small, but we are not a minority. We are the landholders, we are the land keepers; we are not a minority. For our brothers are all the natural world, and by that we are by far the majority.
It is no time to be afraid— there is no time for fear. It is only time to be strong, only a time to think of the future, about the coming generations.
