The time will soon be here when my grandchild will long for the cry of a
loon, the flash of a salmon, the whisper of spruce needles, or the screech of
an eagle.
But he will not make friends with any of these creatures and when his
heart aches with longing, he will curse me.
Have I done all to keep the air fresh?
Have I cared enough about the water?
Have I left the eagle to soar in freedom?
Have I done everything I could to earn my grandchild's fondness?
- Chief Dan George, Tsleil-Waututh (1899 - 1981)
Sad we have so many politicians who still refuse to support any
legislation to stop climate change because they have the money of special
interest groups in their pocket.
