A Celebration of Life... Native American poem/proverb?

Question

I heard someone giving a speech and they read something and said it was called "A Celebration of Life" and was like a Native American proverb or poem. Does anyone know where I can find this? Thanks!

Answer 1

What is life? It is the flash of a firefly in the night. It is the breath of a buffalo in the wintertime. It is the little shadow which runs across the grass and loses itself in the sunset.
