Preface

The Positive Way


Every part of earth is sacred to my people.  We are part of the earth, and it is 

part of us.  The perfumed flowers are our sisters.  The bear, the deer, the great eagle

 these are our brothers.  The rocky crests, the dew in the meadow, the body heat of 

 the pony, and man – all belong to the same family.”   

                                                                           From a letter supposedly written by Chief Seattle.
