I am fully aware of how little an American education teaches you about Native people. - Winona LaDuke

The challenge at the cusp of the millennium is to transform human laws to match natural laws, not vice versa. And to correspondingly transform wasteful production and voracious consumption. America and industrial society must move from a society based on conquest to one steeped in the practice of survival. In order to do that, we must close the circle. The linear nature of industrial production itself, in which labor and technology turn natural wealth into consumer products and wastes, must be transformed into a cyclical system.

Today, on a worldwide scale, we remain in the same situation as one hundred years ago, only with less land and fewer people.

I haven't seen anyone improve on the tepee-you can have a fire inside it, and you can love it.
