Children of Earth & Sky

Oren Lyons: “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.” Commencement Address (2005)

John Trudell: “If we respect our Creator, then we should use our intelligence as intelligently as we can as often as we can. And that means with clarity and coherence. That means to activate and respect our intelligence and activate the thinking process so that it’s going the way we want it to be because that’s why it was given to us. Our intelligence—as the human being part of all of this reality that’s going on, we were given intelligence, this is what was there to help us through the evolutionary reality—to ride the balance, so to speak, of the evolution with our intelligence. It’s our medicine, it’s our protection, it’s our self-defense.” What It Means To Be A Human Being (2001)
