Chief Standing Bear's Quote: How People Connect With The Earth

  "[They]. . . loved the earth and all the things of the earth. . . To sit or lie upon the ground is to be able to think more deeply and to feel more keenly; . . . to see more clearly into the mysteries of life and come closer to kinship to. . . all creatures of the earth, sky, and water."
