Sacred Planet
In the beginning,
humans lived in small groups...
that collected food
by hunting and gathering,...
taking only what
they needed to survive.
Today, only a few humans still dwell
in the depths of nature...
in some of the last
pristine places on Earth.
They continue
a traditional way of life...
that has been practised,
almost unchanged,...
for thousands of years.
A way of life that has
stood the test of time...
and allowed them to live in harmony
with their natural surroundings.
These may be some of the last remaining
people to live a traditional lifestyle...
based on the wisdom passed down
through countless generations.
Many people have never
heard their voices.
Now it may be time to listen.
L"ve always been taught
by my parents and grandparents,...
the same message they received from
their grandparents for many generations,...
that we treat the Earth as our mother.
When we respect the Earth Mother,
then she provides for us.
And all the things
that we see along the way,...
the four-legged animals,...
the ones in the ocean,...
even the hills and the boulders.
They"re our relatives.
By then learning that we"re all related,...
we also learn the responsibility
to keep our planet alive.
As a young boy,...
when I stood next to a great tree,
a big, full-grown tree,...
I felt really small.
I felt that I still had a place,...
that here"s this great tree,
bigger than me,...
been on the Earth longer,...
and I feel one with it.
The way that my ancestors
were able to maintain a unity...
within the natural environment...
was to see all things sacred,...
meaning there was spirit in everything.
We always respected our elders.
We admired them
for coming so far in life.
My grandfather was a wonderful teacher
and a great storyteller.
It seemed as if, as he spoke,
he also healed.
What my grandfather told me...
is that when I speak,
I will touch the hearts of many people.
I know now what he meant.
And there is a healing in the story.
There"s power in the word.
That"s how we built
the power of our communities.
That is how we taught our children
to be great leaders,
to be great medicine people...
Through the stories.
is important to our traditional way of life
is to have enough food to eat,
to have water to drink,...
and to have firewood
to keep ourselves warm.
The land provides us
with our basic needs,...
so we are completely
dependent on nature.
Without these things,
we cannot survive.
Lessons can be learned
from other cultures,...
but we"ll also learn from their mistakes.
If the people continue
to treat the Earth with no respect,...
our traditional way of life
will come to an end.
When we kill an animal, the remains
will be shared between the people.
The skin will be used for clothes,
for our blankets.
If it"s a big animal, the meat
will be sun-dried to be eaten later,...
and all the meat will be eaten up.
Sharing is a very important thing
in our culture.
If you don"t share with other people,
they will not share with you.
Sharing is just a natural way of life.
The most important message
is they must not forget
about our land and our culture.
Ancient teachings have been passed
down through generations of our people.
These teachings say
all life forms are interconnected.
Everything is part of
one whole and living organism,
and each part is vital
to the survival of the whole.
I believe the Earth is one living being.
The end of any one life form
will lead to hardship of another.
