texte :

The white man never cared for land, or deer, or bear. When we Indians kill meat, we eat it all up. When we dig roots, we make little holes. When we built houses, we make little holes. We shake down acorns and pinenuts. We don’t chop down the trees. We only use dead wood. But the white people plow up the ground, pull down the trees, kill everything. The tree says « Don(t. I am sore. Don’t hurt me. » But they chop it down and cut it up. They blast rocks and scatter them on the ground. How can the spirit of the Earth like them.
A Wintu woman

Thanks to Terry McLuhan, editor of Touch the Earth, for the quotation, and to Theodora Kroeber, editor of Almost Ancestors, a Ballentyne publication, for the photograph of Kato, a Wintu woman.
