Quote barely fit with the abbreviated name/source at the end. It comes from one of the most romantic scenes of the epic Last of The Mohicans movie, said by Nathanial Poe to Cora Munro, when they're both hiding in the glade.

My question about it is, about the actual meaning of that story of his father's people. I want to love it, because it's so perfect, and easily conveys an intuitive meaning (preserving the memory of the mother in the stars), but upon further inspection doesn't make sense to me, so maybe someone can clarify it. So, the sun was born and has a brother, the moon. Their mother dies, but the sun "gave to the earth her body". I just realized while typing this, this does not imply that the mother is the earth. For a long time, I believed that this refers to the concept of mother earth, as is so often portrayed in Native American culture, but maybe it's actually *called* mother earth (according to this film) because the mother of the sun and the moon was laid to rest on this barren rock called earth, and it was from her that sprung all life. The first "her" seems almost ambiguous as it seems like the earth is being personified in the quote but it's not. Love it when you answer your own question. I'll still post it because it's an awesome quote!
