From page 14: “The loss of language diversity diminishes the pool of knowledge from which to draw.”

From page 351: (See endnote #21 on page 351: Russell H. Bernard, “Preserving Language Diversity,” in Cultural Survival Quarterly, Fall 1992, page 15), “Loss of language can also have serious political consequences. As Languages are lost, the COURTS may be less likely to recognize or respect the rights of unique ethnic groups. It is easier to claim someone as a citizen of the dominant nation if he or she speaks only the colonial language.”)

From page 87:

per Haudenosaunee Chief Tadodaho Leon Shenandoah: "We (human beings) were instructed to carry a love for one another and to show a great respect for all the beings of this earth." (endnote #22, page 357: "Wisdomkeepers: Meetings with Native American Spiritual Elders" by Steve Wall & Harvey Arden, 1990, Hillsboro, OR, page 107.

"In other words, love and respect are the essence of the Creator's original instructions."

From page 75:

"The question is not how you can understand 'respect' as an abstract principle but how you can be respectful in actual situations."
