" The buffalo represents the people and the universe and should always be treated with respect. For was he not here before the two-legged peoples and is he not generous in that he gives us our homes and our food? The buffalo is wise in many things and thus should always be as a relative with him."
Ogala Sioux holy man, Black Elk, The Sacred Pipe. 1953.
