Famous quotes containing the words indigenous, peoples and/or region:

    “What is a country without rabbits and partridges? They are among the most simple and indigenous animal products; ancient and venerable families known to antiquity as to modern times; of the very hue and substance of Nature, nearest allied to leaves and to the ground,—and to one another; it is either winged or it is legged. It is hardly as if you had seen a wild creature when a rabbit or a partridge bursts away, only a natural one, as much to be expected as rustling leaves.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    “She is watching her country lose its evoked master shape watching
    it lose
    And gain get back its houses and peoples watching it bring up
    Its local lights single homes lamps on barn roofs”
    —James Dickey (b. 1923)

    “America lives in the heart of every man everywhere who wishes to find a region where he will be free to work out his destiny as he chooses.”
    —Woodrow Wilson (1856–1924)
