First they came for the gold, but only the Native Americans were dispossessed. \u00a0Then they came for the land, but they left some to the Indians. \u00a0Next they came for the silver, other metals, then the coal and oil. \u00a0They took some of my neighbors’ land and even much of what they’d previously left to the Indians. \u00a0But it produced jobs along with the filth. \u00a0Such is the price of ‘progress’. \u00a0All this time, they came for the forests, but nobody thought much of it. \u00a0After all, we still have 4% of what we started with, isn’t that enough? \u00a0They came for the rivers, bays, and lakes…even the seas and oceans. \u00a0The waters seemed so vast, surely they couldn’t take them all? \u00a0Now they want the remaining trees and they’ve come for the air itself. \u00a0But there’s no one left who can stop them.<\/p>\n

I had a dream. \u00a0In it, the ponies were screaming and our grandchildren were crying. \u00a0I saw them lying all around on the ground. \u00a0They could not move. \u00a0They were dying. \u00a0The air was heavy and I could barely see the mountains where the forests were gone. \u00a0There was no moon or stars, only the pall of death in the sky. \u00a0I heard my grandfather’s voice. \u00a0He told me he had the same dream many years before my birth. \u00a0He had not wanted to tell me of it. \u00a0He had not wanted to believe what his eyes told him. \u00a0I do not want to believe this dream either. \u00a0Surely our Creator will not let the people perish and lose all purpose. \u00a0Surely the land will live on and sustain us. \u00a0Surely our brothers, when they too have this dream, will be afraid for it is not a good death I have seen.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
