“Take only memories, leave only footprints.” -- Chief Seattle (1786-1866)
November is Native American History Month, celebrating these rich cultures that live in balance with nature. While this quote from Chief Seattle of the Suquamish Nation may be more than 100 years old, the idea of preserving natural resources continues to be the goal of the many organizations working within the Irvine Ranch Natural Landmarks.
Enjoying local open space and wilderness areas and working to preserve them for future generations is one way you can pay tribute to Native American heritage. As you enjoy an oak-lined path or participate in a habitat restoration project, you can contemplate the history of the land and the Native Americans.
