A Suquamish Indian chief describes his people's respect and love for the earth, and concern for its destruction. ''How can you buy the sky? How can you own the rain and the wind?'' So begin the moving words attributed to a great American Indian chief, Chief Seattle, over 100 years ago. They are words that eloquently capture the central belief of Native Americans: that this earth and every creature on it is sacred. It is this belief that inspired Susan Jeffers' extraordinary full-color paintings. Description text copyright 2011 BooksForComfort. Item ID 25836.
