“Treat the Earth well: it was not given to you by your parents, it was loaned to you by your children.
Ancient Indian Proverb
‘One day you finally knew what you had to do, and began…’
Mary Oliver
Traditionally, indigenous people would not make any significant environmental changes until they had carefully considered how it would affect the ecology of their descendants seven generations down the line. This is because indigenous people have direct contact with the responsibilities given to their ancestors and also have direct contact with their own responsibilities to the generations yet unborn. They feel all generations are connected and believe we must think of the effects of decisions made today on the Seventh Generation. Wilderness Journeys and nature based programs are a pathway to this way of being.
