“Of all the teachings we receive, this one is most important: Nothing belongs to you of what there is, of what you take, you must share.”

Chief Dan George

This is the kind of knowledge and wisdom I grew up with as a traditional Ojibway-Cree in northern Ontario. A common saying or idea that many of our Elders always reminded us is that 'life is short, so terribly short' and the thought that 'what you gain and the wealth you own in this life means nothing because you can't take it with you when you die'
