Kinship with all creatures of the earth, sky, and water was a real and
active principle. In the animal and bird world there existed a brotherly
feeling that kept us safe among them... The animals had rights - the
right of man's protection, the right to live, the right to multiply, the
right to freedom, and the right to man's indebtedness. This concept of
life and its relations filled us with the joy and mystery of living; it
gave us reverence for all life; it made a place for all things in the
scheme of existence with equal importance to all.
