This is our way of life. Taking back the land.

this is the best of the 5 videos. He is right, there is something valuable in the indigenous way of life, in respecting all plants, animals, people, and not being super greedy, materialistic, etc.

people living in peace and harmony with nature is the natural way of life, that people have lost as a result of materialism, greed, power, as people searched for power and wealth they lost themselves and became selfish, and lost their natural way, and people are destroying the Earth and themselves.

@prettylyricsmarie : Absolutely! I hope to help keep the value of indigenous cultures free from the white man's poison! I am studying Anthropology, however, I plan to help the indigenous, not hinder them. I want to protect them, not damage them and I will do it until my death and fight for their rights and freedom and keeping their culture alive so their children, grandchildren, etc. can continue the legacy of TRUE Culture, and ways of living! I would happily die for the safety of the first ppls
