What the Indians are saying is that they are recognizing the right of wilderness to be wilderness. Wilderness is not an extension of human need or of human justification. It is itself and it is inviolate, itself. This does not mean that, therefore, we become separated from it, because we don't.

And when each of us has her wilderness within her, we can be together in a balanced kind of way. The forever, we have that within us.
