"We believe that the spirit pervades all creation and that every creature possesses a soul in some degree,
through not necessarily a soul conscious of itself.
The tree, the waterfall, the grizzly bear,
each is an embodied Force, and as such an object of reverence."
Ohiyesa (Dr. Charles A Eastman), Santee Sioux
