The Indians knew that life was equated with the earth and its resources, that America was a paradise, and they could not comprehend why the intruders from the East were determined to destroy all that was Indian as well as America itself.

Great sunbeams! That quote is a reminder of what we as a society need to keep in mind as we contemplate “improvement.”

We as intelligence humans need to understand we have much to learn from nature and indigenous people.

Happy Earth Day, Monte!
“Whether we and our politicians know it or not, Nature is party to all our deals and decisions, and she has more votes, a longer memory, and a sterner sense of justice than we do.”

A great quote, Joe, and he is so right. I’ve been reading about the changes to our environment in just 4 weeks of man ceasing to pollute in so many areas. It is so important for me to make the changes needed in my life.

One day I have a feeling we are going to realize that indigenous people had the right way all along.
Hope you had a great Earth Day, Monte.
