This land doesn’t belong to us.
This land belongs to seven generations down the road.
I pray that the water that we drink, the water that we swim in,
will be there for our great, great, great grandchildren. As well as all over the world.
I pray that the land that we walk on, the trees that we enjoy,
will be there for our generations to come.
These things, they all come together with health.
Health of humans. Health of the animals. And health of the Mother Earth.
-Closing Prayer by Okanagan Nation Elder, Grouse Barnes,
2015 International Conference for Health Promoting Universities and Colleges
