Or Deer, Or Bear. / When We Indians Kiss Meat, We Eat It All Up. When We Dig Big Roots, We / Make Little Holes. When We Built Houses, We Make Little Holes. / We Shake Down Acorns and Pinenuts. We Don't Chop Down The / Trees. We Only Use Dead Wood. But The White Peole Plow Up The / Ground, Pull Down The Trees, Kill Everything. The Tree / Says, "Don't. I Am Sore. Don't Hurt Me." But They Chop It Down / And Cut It Up. They Blast Rocks And Scatter Then On The Ground. How / Can The Spirit Of The Earth Like Them.' / -A Wintu Woman".
