Northern Exposure1990
Dr. Joel Fleischman:
Apparently this is a quote from Chief Seattle dated 1852... "The president in Washington sends word that he wishes to buy our land. But how can you buy or sell the sky, the land? The earth does not belong to man, man belongs to the earth. All things are connected like the blood that unites us all. Man did not weave the web of life. He is merely a strand of it. Whatever he does to the web he does to himself..."
Maggie O'Connell:
"... Your destiny is a mystery to us. What will happen when the buffalo are all slaughtered?" Or will some materialistic money-grubbing short-sighted sub-human sell it to other materialistic money-grubbing short-sighted sub-humans so they can ravage the land and cover it with concrete just so they can pay a few dollars less in taxes.
