In making any law, our chiefs must always consider three
things: the effect of their decision on peace; the effect
on the natural world; and the effect on seven generations
in the future. We believe that all lawmakers should be
required to think this way, that all constitutions
should contain these rules.
We call the future generations "the coming faces". We
are told that we can see the faces of our children to
come in the rain that is falling, and that we must
tread lightly on the earth, for we are walking on the
faces of our children yet to come. That attitude, too,
we want to have you learn and share.
