What you are doing will change the whole world and will destroy our home-and it will destroy your home too. [.] Only a generation ago, many of our tribes were fighting each other, but now we are together fighting together against our common enemy. And that common enemy is you the non- -indigenous peoples who have invaded our lands and are now burning even those small parts of the forests where we live that you have left for us When you dig for minerals you impale the heart of the Earth. And when you pour poisons on the land and into the rivers-chemicals from agriculture and mercury from gold mines -you weaken the spirits, the plants the animals and the land itself. When you weaken the land like that, it starts to die. If the land dies, if our Earth dies, then none of us will be able to live, and we too will all die () When you cut down the trees you assault the spirits of our ancestors. We all breathe this one air, we all drink the same water We live on this one planet. We need to protect the Earth. If we don't the big winds will come and destroy the forest Then you will feel the fear that we feel
