Respect  (Buffalo)

Burn Sage under Western Cedar. from 
its branch, make a flute and play me 
a song in the key of e. i will hear your 
gratitude and all will be good. 
If you want to live in peace with All Our 
Relations, you will be able to do so when 
you treat all creatures alike with respect. 
Give them all the same kind consideration. 
Give them all an even chance to live and 
grow. All Our Relations were made by the 
same Great Spirit. We are all sisters and 
brothers, after all.
