THE CALL OF NATURE
The Elders say, “What you do to the land and Nature you do to yourself.” Because we have harmed nature, we have harmed ourselves.
We have to surrender to the fact that Nature is in control and always has been. We need to stop and reconcile with Mother Earth for all the harm that we have done to her.
Our world will not change until we remember the Original Instructions we were given in how to be a human being.
At the end of the day, we all have to realize how fragile our lives are, and how dependent we are upon the land for everything. Now, collectively, we must become true stewards of the land and teach our children the truth of that sacred relationship.
We can’t live without the Animal, Bird, Fish, and Plant life. Nature is essential for human existence.
Now is the time for change. This is the call of Nature: Change or you will not survive.

We need to deodorize ourselves! We need to heal from abuse. The chiefs, not all but most who's reserves are drug and alcohol infested. Who won't change these behaviors and attitudes for our next 7 generations. Challenges we face is our elections are corrupt, we don't have a democratic society. Power and control is what's wrong. We need more teaching about 7 grandfather's. It is so important to our future! Ahow!
Miigwetch ♥️🦅♥️
I'm so happy I found you
Im so glad I found this video. I am encouraged by his words.
I can only teach my grandchildren about 7 grandfathers, only to have there spirits ripped out by politics and corruption and greed.

Bonjour et Merci Elder Dave Courchesne pour ce partage. Toute ma gratitude. Seulement, le message que vous faites est très important pour moi dans connaîntre l'exactude. Je suis une personne qui vit au Québec et j'ai un peu la difficulté avec l'anglais. Est-il possible en français ou est-ce que quelqu'un pour faire la traduction? Et j'aimerais souligner un message....Comment doit-on réagir face au racisme? J'ai été dans une situation ou il y avait du racisme et j'étais désarmé?
