For thousands of years, the indigenous people of America have cultivated a sustainable, spiritual way of life that views the land, water, and all of nature with respect and reverence, not just taking but also giving back, because it is alive. An Iroquois leader wrote, "In our way of life, in our government, with every decision we make, we always keep in mind the seventh generation to come. It is our job to see that the people coming aead, the generations still unborn have a world no worse than ours and hopefully better. When we walk upon Mother Earth we always plant our feet carefully because we know the faces of our future generations are looking up at us from beneath the ground. We never forget them." Yet the rest of us have. After centuries of being oppressed by people who have ravaged the land and take no accountability for the trauma caused to Native communities and the planet, how can we turn that around, beginning to heal this trauma? As the climate crisis threatens to decimate human civilization as we know it, how can we uplift Native voices, which have spoken and sung songs and told stories from the first of how much it matters that we cultivate a way of life that includes taking care of each other and our planet?
