STORY EARTH Native Voices on the Environment |
||
STORY EARTH
|
A unique collection of previously unpublished native and non-Western
wisdom from around the world on the environmental crisis, with an introduction
by the Prime Minister of Norway.
“As the cycles of the seasons pass, you explain in the form of lesson stories what will happen when wrong actions are taken. Then you will remember and your children's children will remember.”
“Mother Earth sustain us. Father Sun keep us warm. That is the plea of the world family as eloquently expressed by the contributors to Story Earth.” Story Earth gives voice to the world's tribal cultures, collecting eighteen eloquent statements from representatives of indigenous peoples of six continents on the nature of our global environmental crisis and changes we must make in the way we view the world. These healing visions of a harmonious relationship between people and the earth offer hope and inspiration for sorely needed change. |
