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. 2004-02-24 House Journal Page 2708 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. The Pledge of Allegiance was led by Representative Gatto.
