“Wherever forests have not been mowed down, wherever the
animal is recessed in their quiet protection, wherever the earth is not bereft
of four-footed life - that to the white man is an 'unbroken
wilderness.'
But for us there was no wilderness, nature was not dangerous but hospitable,
not forbidding but friendly. Our faith sought the harmony of man with his
surroundings; the other sought the dominance of surroundings.
For us, the world was full of beauty; for the other, it was a place to be
endured until he went to another world.
But we were wise. We knew that man's heart, away from nature, becomes
hard.”
