—Karl Wilhelm Von Humboldt (17671835)
“The Indian attitude toward the land was expressed by a Crow named Curly: The soil you see is not ordinary soilit is the dust of the blood, the flesh, and the bones of our ancestors. You will have to dig down to find Natures earth, for the upper portion is Crow, my blood and my dead. I do not want to give it up.”
