#1101 - PRIDE and JOY Now the Mother Earth And the Father Sky, Meeting, joining one another, Helpmates ever, they All is beautiful, All is beautiful, All is beautiful, indeed - from Song of the Earth - Navajo	#1104 - THE RENDEZVOUS Comrades, Kinsmen, Now have ye spoken thus, The Earth is mine 'Tis my domain.

#1105 - SONG for the ANCIENTS Oh I am thinking Oh I am thinking I have found my lover Oh I think it is so! - Love Song, Ojibw	# 1107 - CAMP OF THE HIGH PLAINS "Everything the Power of the World does is done in a circle. The sky is round and I have heard that the earth is round like a ball and so are all the stars. The Wind, in its greatest power, whirls. Birds make their nest in circles, for theirs is the same religion as ours. The Sun comes forth and goes down again in a circle. The Moon does the same, and both are round. Even the seasons form a circle in their changing, and always come back again to where they were. The life of a man is a circle from childhood to childhood and so it is in everything where Power moves. Our tipis were round like the nest of birds and they were always set in a circle, the nation's hoop, a nest of many nests where the Great Spirit meant for us to hatch our children." - Black Elk, Oglala Lakota
