Arrows - The mission picture

“Survival of the world depends on our sharing what we have and working together. If we do not the whole world will die. First the planet, and next the people.”

Frank Fools Crow
Teton Lakota Cerimonial Chief

“All things are bound together. All things connect. Whatever happens to the Earth happens to the children of the Earth. Man did not weave the web of life, he is merely a strand in it. Whatever he does to the web, he does to himself.”

Chief Seattle
Leader of the Suquamish And Duwamish Native American Tribe
