This was written by Chief Dan George, in 1972..

"In the course of my lifetime I have lived in two distinct cultures. I was born into a culture that lived in communal houses. My grandfather’s house was eighty feet long. It was called a smoke house, and it stood down by the beach along the inlet. All my grandfather’s sons and their families lived in this dwelling. Their sleeping apartments were separated by blankets made of bull rush weeds, but one open fire in the middle served the cooking needs of all.

In houses like these, throughout the tribe, people learned to live with one another; learned to respect the rights of one another. And children shared the thoughts of the adult world and found themselves surrounded by aunts and uncles and cousins who loved them and did not threaten them. My father was born in such a house and learned from infancy how to love people and be at home with them.

And beyond this acceptance of one another there was a deep respect for everything in Nature that surrounded them. My father loved the Earth and all its creatures. The Earth was his second mother. The Earth and everything it contained was a gift from See-see-am… and the way to thank this Great Spirit was to use his gifts with respect.

I remember, as a little boy, fishing with him up Indian River and I can still see him as the sun rose above the mountain top in the early morning…I can see him standing by the water’s edge with his arms raised above his head while he softly moaned…”Thank you, thank you.” It left a deep impression on my young mind.

And I shall never forget his disappointment when once he caught me gaffing for fish “just for the fun of it.” “My son” he said, “The Great Spirit gave you those fish to be your brothers, to feed you when you are hungry. You must respect them. You must not kill them just for the fun of it.”

This then was the culture I was born into and for some years the only one I really knew or tasted. This is why I find it hard to accept many of the

Sitting on the throne yesterday morning looking out the bathroom window, I see this magnificent creature flying through the trees towards the house landing on a tall spruce overlooking the chicken coop. I get all excited and yell to the family to come see the beautiful eagle who came to visit. Everyone bursts into the bathroom disregarding my activities and looks out the window in complete aww! When all of suddened we realized that the chickens and the bunny were the reason for the visit. Finishing business rather quickly, I rushed out to the pen to gather all the animals to lock in the coop, I got a rather nasty scratch from the bunny, ran around collecting chickens in my nightgown, and through all this crazy behavior...the eagle perched as if totally entertained watching the madness unfold, I think missing breakfast was worth the show for her that morning! I love my life!

7:30AM this morning our momma deer finally brought her little one out for us to see! As they stepped into the freshly planted field its bright white spots glitterd in the sun as it jumped and leaped to keep up...absolutely breath taking! We were very excited and thankful to finally meet the sweet babe!
