“If it is a
human thing to do to put something you want, because it's useful, edible, or
beautiful, into a bag, or a basket, or a bit of rolled bark or leaf, or a net
woven of your own hair, or what have you, and then take it home with you, home
being another, larger kind of pouch or bag, a container for people, and then
later on you take it out and eat it or share it or store it up for winter in a
solider container or put it in the medicine bundle or the shrine or the museum,
the holy place, the area that contains what is sacred, and then the next day
you probably do much the same again—if to do that is human, if that's what it
takes, then I am a human being after all. Fully, freely, gladly, for the first
time....
