Blackfoot Legend of the Peace pipe
Blackfoot Teepee by Edward S. Curtis
“What is life? It is the flash of a firefly in the night. It is the breath of a buffalo in the wintertime. It is the little shadow which runs across the grass and loses itself in the sunset.”
– Crowfoot, Blackfoot warrior and orator
****
Life is not separate from death. It only looks that way.
– Blackfoot Proverb
