 At year 1854. president of the United States  Abracham Lincoln wished to buy a big area of Indian country. Answer Cijetla head is also one of the deepest thoughts that are spoken about humans surroundings. These are his quotes:
"How can you buy or sell the sky, heat the earth? The idea is foreign. If we do not have fresh air and clarity of the water, how can you buy that? Each part of the land is holy for my people. Every great pine needle, every sandy shore , every mist in the dark woods, every bug, are in the experience memory of my people. The great water which runs rapids and rivers is not only water, but the blood of our ancestors. rivers are our brothers, the food we thirst. The air is expensive for red man because all live sharing the same breath: animal, tree, man. And if we need to sell our land you must keep it as a sanctuary, a place where a white man will be able to taste of the wind that is sweetened scent of field flowers. If we decide to accept,we will set one condition: a white man must be treated according to the animals of the land as according to his brothers. What is man without the animals? If animals go, man will die from great loneliness of spirit. Whatever happens to the animals, that will happend to the man. All things are connected. Whatever happen to the country, that will happend to the sons of the country. I do not understand, why is killing bison; why wild horses deprived of freedom, why is the view of the green hills torn strings that speak? Where are the forests? No more. Where is the eagle? it flyed away. the end commed to the real life. Now is struggle for survival!"
