THE ANIMALS
We gather our minds together to send greetings and thanks to all of the animals of the world. The animals are our brothers. They are part of the same web of life. Our lives are connected to theirs. They never forget who they are and what their original instructions are. We are honored when they give up their lives so we may use their bodies as food for our people. The deer is the leader of the animals and is a symbol of peace. We are glad the deer and all of the animals are still here and we hope that it will always be so. With one mind, we send greetings, thanks and love to our brothers, all of the animals.
