Roll call showed 34 members present.  Representative Seaton had

Representatives Harris, Moses, Rokeberg, and Williams were absent

Juneau Unitarian Universalist Fellowship.  Representative McGuire                                   
moved and asked unanimous consent that the invocation be spread on                                  
the journal.  There being no objection, it was so ordered.                                          
                                                                                                    
    May we reflect excerpts from a speech by Chief Seattle                                          
    (Skokomish) in 1854 in response to the Great Chief in                                           
    Washington who sends word that he wishes to buy his land:                                       
                                                                                                    
    How can you buy and sell the sky, the warmth of the land?                                       
    The idea is strange to us.  If we do not own the freshness of                                   
    the air and the sparkle of the water, how can you buy them?                                     
                                                                                                    
    Every part of this earth is sacred to my people.  Every shining                                 
    pine needle, every sandy shore, every mist in the dark woods,                                   
    every clearing and humming insect is holy in the memory and                                     
    experience of my people.  The sap which courses through the                                     
    trees carries the memories of the red man.

    This we know.  The earth does not belong to man, man                                            
    belongs to the earth.  So if we sell you our land, love it as we                                
    loved it.  Care for it as we cared for it.  And with all your                                   
    strength, with all your mind, with all your heart, preserve it                                  
    for your children, and love It … as the Great Spirit loves us                                   
    all.  Amen.
