In 1783 Native Americans formed a government and were thrown out of the English Parliament because they formed the U.S. government. So, according to him, “the citizens of the USA are the Native Americans.”

These are special gifts, given by the grandfathers and grandmothers. If used up, they will never be created again. Once destroyed, they can never be replaced," he said.
These gifts are everything on the planet, the environment, resources, “air, water and other living things on the planet that humans find useful. They are to be used carefully, in such a manner that they serve everyone.”
I had also noticed that he used the words human and people in a specific way that I didn’t understand. He said, “What is meant by humans and people is that humans are human beings specifically. People means everything, the rocks trees, grass and animals. Every other living thing.”
