"In the beginning of all things, wisdom and knowledge were with the animals; for Tuawa, the One Above, did not speak directly to man.  He sent Animals to tell man that he showed himself through the beasts, and that from them, and from the stars and the sun and moon, man should learn... for all things speak of Tuawa" - Chief Letakos-Lesa of the Pawnees Tribe, circa 1904
