All People Are….IMPORTANT
 (This legend was told by an old Indian man whose grandfather had told it to him.)
“The white man is a very important person. He is the color of snow and snow is made from water, and no living thing can go without water. So he is very important. The black man is also very important. He is the color of the night or darkness and no living thing can go without rest. So he is very important. The yellow man, the Oriental, is also important because he is the color of the sun and no living thing can grow without the warmth of the sun. And the Indian people are also important because we are the color of the mother earth from which all things grow. So we are all important people and we all need each other. So we must learn to live with each other.”
