                        <content:encoded><![CDATA[Here's a quote that might be appropriate, seeing Link was part Shawnee, and apparently wasn't opposed to his own heritage:<br><br>So live your life that the fear of death can never enter your heart.<br>Trouble no one about their religion;<br>respect others in their view, and demand that they respect yours.<br>Love your life, perfect your life, beautify all things in your life.<br><br>Seek to make your life long and its purpose in the service of your people.<br>Prepare a noble death song for the day when you go over the great divide.<br>Always give a word or a sign of salute when meeting or passing a friend,<br>even a stranger, when in a lonely place.<br>Show respect to all people and grovel to none.<br><br>When you arise in the morning give thanks for the food and for the joy of living.<br>If you see no reason for giving thanks, the fault lies only in yourself.<br><br>Abuse no one and no thing, for abuse turns the wise ones to fools<br>and robs the spirit of its vision.<br><br>When it comes your time to die, be not like those whose hearts are filled<br>with the fear of death, so that when their time comes they weep<br>and pray for a little more time to live their lives over again in a different way.<br>Sing your death song and die like a hero going home.<br><br>Chief Tecumseh (Crouching Tiger) Shawnee Nation 1768-1813<br><br><br>I think maybe he gave it a good shot :)<br><br>Mitakuye Oyasin]]></content:encoded>
