The indigenous people are our best model for survival -not short-term survival, but long-term. They model a sustainable future. They live off the land and in harmony with their natural surroundings and depend on the global environment to be intact.

When they die, nothing is harmed. The land is well. The animals are well. The sky is well. Everything continues in a harmonious circle.

But when they can no longer live off the land, our model of survival as a species is gone. When the most primitive means of survival are gone, the rest of the world doesn’t stand a chance as we exploit these natural resources on a much larger scale.

All across the globe, indigenous people are being forced to abandon their time-honored, ancient, traditional ways of life as a result of changes in climate; as well as previous generations’ abandonment of agrarian lifestyles in favor of our modern forms of living, altering the system of resources and trade once held in common.

Many of these changes are due to human factors such as pollution (waste, chemical contamination, air pollution / temperature rise), a general disregard for prioritizing care for our planet and everything within it and beyond it (space); greed, lust and, as mentioned above, exploitation.

When we forfeit our cumulatively-gained knowledge from times past and trade it out for our instant-gratification lifestyles, we will have dire consequences to reckon with -and we are there. When we lose the indigenous knowledge of how we’ve always survived and instead always look to depend on someone else to know and provide our means of survival, and everyone else does the same; we may find ourselves in a bad predicament and wishing we had cared more when we had the chance.

Still here,
