Look closely to everything you see. I watch the changes of the weather, the habits of the animals, and all the things by which I might be guided in the future. This moment, this day,
the gift of life. Gifts from the Great Mystery.

Let a man decide upon his favorite animal and make a study of it..... let him understand its sounds and motions. The animals want to communicate with man, but Wakan-Tanka does not intend they shall do so directly--- man must do the greater part in securing an understanding.... When I was ten years of age I looked at the land and the rivers, the sky above and the animals around me, and I could not fail to realize that they were made by some great Power. I was so anxious to understand this Power that I questioned the trees and the bushes. Brave Buffalo, OGLALA SIOUX
