An interesting read about how Native American value their culture and in that the care of sustaining the earth.

“Flowers, plants and grass especially the latter are the covering or blanket of the earth. If too much plucked or ruthlessly destroyed the earth is sorry and weeps. It rains or is angry and makes rain, fog and bad weather.”

“If there is one overriding theme extending over time and space for human survival in this vast region, it is change - and adaption to change.”
