Chief Dan George gave one of the best performances here---you really hear an Elder speaking here with humor, truth and wisdom. Elder portraits so rare in cinema. What's wrong with this industry? Those you see push out those you WANT to see.

@coolhand100 no, I am from Liverpool in England. I have however, learnt of where the 'west' may have gone wrong. Over 2400 years ago. We are all still paying the price, and will be for generations to come. The parts of the world that had not been tainted by this mistake are very interesting to me. Which includes the culture and mindset of the indigneous peoples of your land.

Interesting to me-- the similarities between the conclusions/beliefs that the Native Americans came to about the world/universe and those held by Buddhists. Not identical, but clearly a bigger picture view that we in the west don't think about.

Lol my gpa in the tipi lol
The 'scientific' west has a lot to learn from the mindset of the Native American people. The whole subject/object split would seem an illusion to many original americans. Objectifying things as is done in the west, makes them dead to the rest of the universe, and they become something to purely exploit and eventually ruin. This speech by Dan George, shows an understanding that all things are connected and part of the same evolving pattern that makes up the known and the unknown universe.
