“On Natural Diversity…”
by John (Fire) Lame Deer

“Even animals of the same kind – two deer, two owls – will behave
differently from each other. I have studied many plants. The leaves of
one plant, on the same stem – none is exactly alike. On all the earth
there is not one leaf that is exactly like another. The Great Spirit,
Wakan Tanka, likes it that way. He only sketches out the path of life
roughly for all the creatures on earth, shows them where to go, where to
arrive at, but leaves them to find their own way to get there. He wants
them to act independently according to their own nature, to the urges
in each of them.

If Wakan Tanka likes the plants, the animals, even little mice and bugs,
to do this, how much more will he abhor people being alike, doing the
same things, getting up at the same time, putting on the same kind of
store-bought clothes, riding the same subway, working in the same office
at the same job with their eyes on the same clock and, worst of all,
thinking alike all the time.

All creatures exist for a purpose. Even an ant knows what that purpose
is – not with its brain, but somehow it knows. Only human beings have
come to a point where they no longer know why they exist. They don’t use
their brains and have forgotten the secret knowledge of their bodies,
their senses, or their dreams. They don’t use the knowledge the spirit
has put into every one of them; they are not even aware of this, and so
they stumble along blindly on the road to nowhere – a paved highway
which they themselves bulldoze and make smooth so they can get faster to
the big, empty hole which they’ll find at the end, waiting to swallow
them up. It’s a quick, comfortable superhighway, but I know where it
leads to. I have seen it. I’ve been there in my vision, and it makes me
shudder to think about it.”
