Hi Welles,
I read this and I am so happy that I did. It really makes you think doesn't it?
Does this part sound familiar?

Kinship with all creatures of the earth, sky and water was a real and active principle. In the animal and bird world there existed a brotherly feeling that kept the Lakota safe among them. And so close did some of the Lakotas come to their feathered and furred friends that in true brotherhood they spoke a common tongue.

We have heard something like this before from the book, "Kinship With All Life" . This isn't the first time this point has been reinforced.
Over and over again, truly. Can you imagine what great joy this would add to life?

Thanks for sharing. I'll pass this one on to my sister.
love,
Sandy
