No single view of nature existed or exists among the hundreds of Native American tribes in the United States, but common beliefs and practices regarding nature’s land and animals have included appreciation, respect and reverence.
Dixon August Sky
Rainbow fills the sky with those light pastels
I love so much, red, gray, orange hues so soft
Over Red Sleep Mountain waiting
To find their place on the horizon.
Red Sleep Mountain within the boundaries
Of the National Bison Range, good for a name,
But then there are the Salish Mountains
North of the Bison Range. How is that for a name
All in one place, right from my back room?
I see Red Sleep Mountain.
I am the Salish Mountains.
