"A message from a Native American chief who explains how the earth and all the creatures who dwell upon it are sacred. His words, together with Jeffers's images, convey how all aspects of the natural environment are interconnected, and how Native American people approach nature with an attitude of humility and respect. Spirited pictures depict the contrast between a reciprocal relationship with the land and the current state of environmental crisis." From Bringing the World Alive: A Bibliography of Nature Stories for Children, published by The Orion Society.
