The Trees Teach UsThe tree is basic to all First Nation beliefs and teachings. There are not only branches going up, but also roots going down into the Earth, symbolizing our connection with the Earth. The tree links the sky and the Earth; it's like our lifeline. The roots that go into the ground represent our own roots. We learn honesty from tall trees. An honest individual - you can always tell by how tall and straight he walks. We get that from the trees. Come See the Beauty in Our LandsTo see beauty is to seek the truth with an open mind. To hear beauty is to share in the creation of harmony. To feel beauty is to experience the world with a kind heart.To taste and smell beauty is to touch the joy of life.
