Oren Lyons on The Wizard of Oz
Oren Lyons retells the classic story "The Wizard of Oz", from an enlightening (and very different) Native America perspective.
This video was produced by the Sacred Land Film Project, SacredLand.org, a project of Earth Island Institute. To deepen public understanding of sacred places, indigenous cultures and environmental justice, the Film Project produces a variety of media and educational materials-films, videos, DVDs, articles, photographs, school curricula and other materials. The Sacred Land Film Project uses journalism, organizing and activism to rekindle reverence for land, increase respect for cultural diversity, stimulate dialogue about connections between nature and culture, and protect sacred lands and diverse spiritual practices.
Its latest project, Standing on Sacred Ground, StandingOnSacredGround.org, is a four-part series that chronicles indigenous people in eight communities around the world standing up for their traditional sacred lands in defense of cultural survival, human rights and the environment. Watch them stand against industrial mega-projects, consumer culture, resource extraction, competing religions, tourists and climate change.

Wisdom is vastly more important than knowledge. From the Indus Valley there was a saying that the gods of the heathen are gold and silver. I now understand how the most important wisdom to follow is that of what you have said, that we are all part of the web of life and we need to look after our neighbors, and that our neighbor are all things.
Stunning. I respect Mr. Lyons' story ... so needing to be heard.
This world needs more of your wisdom...
There was a difference between the book and movie: in the movie Dorothy's slippers were red, but in the book they were silver. Mr. Lyons is right. It was about money backed by: gold or silver (from out west) or nothing (fiat). We got nothing!
I swear … this man right here … he is one of my Most Favorite Ppl on earth … the wisdom he gives … is my wealth … it’s priceless … so much love & respect for him. Thankful Grateful Blessed.
Read Baum's political writings. Chief Lyons has exactly the precise interpretation. Baum said it himself, Chief Lyons is just pointing out truth.
I can't thank you enough! It would be way too long of a story....I can only thank you and Great Spirit from the bottom of my heart!
Love you Mr. Lyon and your message. I saw your interview with Bill Moyers some years back, it was moving. I hope one day I can have the honor of meeting. I'll keep the spirit.
All I can say is "WOW"!
Oren Lyons The Wizard Of Oz ❤🎉.
Beautiful, gentle and so insightful!
Absolutely PROFOUND! Well done!
Thx.so
Incredible
The symbology of the "twister" at the start of the film that picked up Dorothy's house could be seen from a number of different layers also ,,
I agree with you, kitathemaori. I am white, and not one to put up with race-based hatred toward anyone, including myself. I did not hear any hatred towards whites in any of Oren Lyons' videos. I did not hear, 'Go away, white people'. I heard, 'Respect Earth.'
I cried, thank you for so much wisdom 🙏🏻
Wow. It's all being disclosed now. Truth always wins. Love this man!
God Bless You Oren.
Thank you so much Oren Lyons...I love you and your wisdom. Thank you for sharing your thoughts and wisdom with us. Thank you for caring about humanity when they didn't always care for YOU. Thank you for representing Mother Earth and her interests. Thank you for being such a wonderful inspiration. I aspire to be half as wise as you and I would still be amazing. I vote for you to be a new age leader in our evolved society in the future. You are such a blessing to listen to. I love you
