"It is ironic that wine, the Christians' most
sacred substance, representing in Mass the blood of Christ, has
caused such a trail of devastation within Native populations, while
the Natives' most sacred substance, tobacco, has caused major health
problems for so many Christians."

Native American Spirituality Quotes
 "...EVERYTHING
ON EARTH HAS A PURPOSE, every disease an herb to cure it, and every person
a mission. This is the Indian theory of existence."
Mourning Dove [Christine Quintasket/Salish] (1888-1936)
"IT HAS TAKEN SCIENTISTS until the last half of the
20th century to prove what we have known all along...we are all related.
Not just human beings, but four-legged and winged brothers and sisters,
as well as those who crawl.
"We, too, are related to, and part of our Mother, the
Earth (Kukna), and everything on her. When we say she is our mother, we
do not say this in some symbolic sense, but with the knowledge that we
came from her and will return to her."
- Ŕlankčntkátâxkwe (Star Dancer/Lenapé), Turtle Clanmother,
Thunder Mountain Lenapé Nation
"WE ALSO HAVE A RELIGION which was given to our forefathers, and has
been handed down to us their children. It teaches us to be thankful, to
be united, and to love one another! We never quarrel about religion."
- Red Jacket (Seneca) replying to Missionary Cram in
the 1800's
