In all my journeyings in deserts, prairies and mountains I never once saw a rattlesnake coil, either by way of defense or attack, when an Indian walked into its close vicinity. Kinship With All Life, 1954.

 

Even the most dreaded of poisonous snakes is a kindly disposed fellow at heart. He wants to be understood and to understand. Ibid.

 

. . . if you should ever encounter me walking along a dirt road and should see me pause, lift my hat and bow to the direction of the ground, you will know that I am paying my respects to a passing earthworm. Ibid.
