The Important of our First Nations Elders and Cultures.... [View all]

There is a saying, "The meek shall inherit the earth."
Spending time sitting at the feet of Blackfoot Elders helped me to understand this age old saying a little more. In fact, Indigenous Elders have kept a seat open in the circle of life for all people. The Rainbow Warrior prophecy speaks of this invitation to enter the world of the 'real' people. Blame or shame is not part of this world-view, but the global warming crisis has not left us without an opportunity to shift toward a broader philosophy of human existence. This real opportunity produces hope and a paradise on earth behind every human endeavor sensitive to our ecosystems.... It may seem difficult to take a seat in this Circle of Life, but it is equally necessary and rewarding...
