Who will find peace with the lands?
The future of humankind lies waiting for those
who will come to understand their lives
and take up their responsibilities to all living things.
Who will listen to the trees, the animals and birds,
the voices of the places of the land?
As the long forgotten peoples of the respective continents rise
and begin to reclaim their ancient heritage,
they will discover the meaning of the lands of their ancestors.
That is when the invaders of the North American continent
will finally discover that for this land,
God is red.

- Vine Deloria Jr. -

from God Is Red (1973)

March 26, 1933 - November 13, 2005
