Frédéric  Perrin
“If they follow the way of Money Chiefs, they shall die. Earth is sick and can no longer care for her children. Now, Earth’s children must care for Earth. Continue to pollute rivers and oceans – rivers and oceans shall drown you. Pollute sky – Sun Spirit shall burn you. Kill more trees – unclean air shall strangle you. Kill more Spirits – disease shall destroy you. Already, Money Chiefs’ skin burns. Their lungs choke on unclean air. Poisoned water spreads disease among them and all Spirits. Rising rivers and oceans shall sweep their homes and lives away. Money Chiefs think money heals broken lives. Unchanged, in the end, Money Chiefs’ money shall cost them their lives.
-Frederic Perrin
Rella Two Trees―The Money Chiefs”
Frédéric Perrin

Tara June Winch
“My mummy, she said, 'The Aborigine is a pity, my son.' She said everyone was always insulted by her no matter what she did, so she let herself do the most insulting thing she could think of - take the poison they brought with them and go to town.”
Tara June Winch, The Yield
