"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' and only to him was the land 'infested' with 'wild' animals and 'savage' people. To use it was tame. Earth was bountiful and we were surrounded with the blessings of the Great Mystery." —Luther Standing Bear, "Land of the Spotted Eagle"
