Teach your children that the ground beneath their feet
Is the ashes of our grandfathers.
So that they will respect the land, tell your children
That the earth is
Rich with the lives of our kin.
Teach your children what we have taught our children -
That the earth is our mother.
Whatever befalls the earth, befalls the sons of earth...
This we know: all things are connected
Like the blood which unites one family.
