To honor and respect means to think of the land and the water and plants and animals who live here as having a right equal to our own to be here. We are not the supreme and all-knowing beings, living at the top of the pinnacle of evolution, but in fact we are members of the sacred hoop of life, along with the trees and rocks, the coyotes and the eagles an fish and toads, that each fulfullls its purpose. They each perform their given task in the sacred hoop, and we have one too.
- Abenaki Wolf Song
