- 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 womanThanks 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.

“I wonder if the ground has anything to say ?
I wonder if the ground is listening to what is said ?
I wonder of the ground would come alive to what is on it ?Through i hear what the ground says :
… the Great Spirit placed me here”This poster is from a photograph entitled “Fire Carrier Bringing the Skull” by E.S. Curtis and originally published in his book, “The North American Indian”.
The text is adapted from a speech by Young Chief, a Cayuse leader, who spoke in opposition to the Point Elliot Treaty in 1855. It was published in “Touch the Earth” by Teri McLuhan, published by Outerbridge & Dienstfrey.

The original instructions direct that we who walk about the earth are to express a great respect, and affection, and a gratitude toward all the spirits which create and support life. We give a greetings and thanksgiving to the many supporters of your own lives…
The corn, beans, squash, the winds, the sun, when people cease to respect and express gratitude for these many things, then all life will be destroyed, and human life on this planet will come to an end…Additional copies of this poster are now avaible from Akwesasne Notes.

“We did not think of the great open plains, the beautiful rolling hills, and winding streams with tangled growth, as “wild”. Only to the white man was nature a “wilderness” infested with “wild” animals and “savage” people. To us it was tame. Earth was bountiful and we were surrounded with the blessings of the Great Mystery.”
In each issue of Akwesasne Notes, there is a centerfold poster. The entire series is available as separate posters. They measure 17 × 22 inches and are printed in various colors. This poster combines a photograph, “Bear Belly-Arickara” by Cartlin with a quote from Luther Standing Bear.
