The Pueblo have no word that translates as "religion". The knowledge of a spiritual lifeis part of the person 24 hours a day, every day of the year. Religious belief permeates every aspect of life; it determines man's relation with the natural world and with his fellow man. The secret of the Pueblo's success was simple. They came face to face with nature but did not exploit it. Joe S. Sando, Jemez Pueblo We are exceedingly tired. We have just heard of the ratifications of the Choctaw Treaty. Our doom is sealed. There is no other course for us but to turn over our faces to our new homes toward the setting sun.

David Folsom, Choctaw, 1830You have guns, and so have we. You have powder and lead, and so have we. You have men and so have we. Your men will fight and so will ours, till the last drop of the Seminole's blood has moistened the dust of his hunting ground. Osceola, Seminole, 1836I have a little boy...If he is not dead, tell him the last words of his father were that he must never go beyond the Father of Waters, but die in hte land of his birth. It is sweet to die in one's native land and be buried by the margins of one's native stream. Tsali, Cherokee, (awaiting execution), 1938We have lived upon this land from days beyond history's records, far past any living memory, deep into the time of legend. The story of my people and the story of this place are one single story. We are always joined together. Pueblo elderWhat we are told as children is that people when they walk on the land leave their breath wherever they go. So wherever we walk, that particular spot on the earth never forgets us, and when we go back to these places, we know that the people who have lived there are in some way still there, and that we can actually partake of their breath and their spirit. Rina Swentzell, Santa Clara PuebloWay back in the distant past, the ancestors of humans were living down below in a world under the earth. They weren't humans yet, they lived in darkness, behaving like bugs. Now, there was a Great Spirit watching over everything; some people say he was the sun. He saw how many things were down under the earth, so he sent his messenger, Spider Old Woman, to talk to them. She said, "You creatures, the Sun Spirit doesn't want you living like this. He is going to transform you into something better, and I will lead you to another world." When they came out on the surface of the earth, that's when they became humans. In the journeys that followed, they were looking for a place of harmony, where they could follow good teachings and a good way of life. Albert Yava, Tewa/Hopi
