This is the meaning of "All my Relations". That even the Rocks and dirt have life and must be asked before you can use them. That all life is sacred, and some have agreed to being used for the benefit of others, but all ways ask first and take only what you need. Always give a gift when you take something be it medicine food or shelter that the life you take may not be just used. A good rule of thumb is ask the first plant/deer or whatever and leave a gift for them then go take what you need from their relatives. Not all in any case but what you need.
