  • I am a white man from latinamerica, and i will always love the native american way of worshipping nature and its great forces. I am definately identified to the ancient american wisdom, where God or the great Spirit is inside nature. In Europe and the Christian Way they teach that God is above and that nature is a subproduct of God; that nature should not be linked with God. Those christians prefer to worship a book which they say its holy. To me, nature is the true and holy book of God.

  • Does the fellow who introduced this video have any concept of how young 66 years old actually is???

  • It is heart breaking to see how dirty the lakes and rivers have become. I remember being able to stand in water up to my neck and clearly see my toes. Now between the motor boats, power companies, factory farms and sewer systems we can't even see the bottom in two inches.

  • Aani ...chi Meegwetch!

  • Thank you for your truth ..for your walk with mother Earth ... i love you my sister ...

  • @tumyeto111 you're a pretty naive person.

  • Clayfisher- Do you have any idea of the average age of death for a Indian women?

  • @otirudam but didnt God create the heavens and the earth and man? So wouldnt it be simple for him to put it in mans heart to know what to write in the Bible? I mean cmon God wouldnt let man write false things about him.

  • @tumyeto111 as far as i know the Bible is a book written by men, published, edited, translated, sold and distributed by men. No problem with that, but i prefer a more direct way to be with God through nature. Besides the Bible God is more than 2000 years old, and God speaks everyday because he is a living God, not a God frozen in a time capsule like an old book. Nature is the space where the Great Universal Spirit dwells, so to limit God to a manuscript is constricting its actions.

  • @otirudam why cant they both be holy? Nature is holy for it is the work of God and the Bible is holy for it is the Word of God.

  • These people are related to our white stone age ancestors who were here already when the Asian peoples arrived.. They shared survival strategies, and interbred. So what i'm trying to say is YOU ALREADY HAVE NATIVE ANCESTORS. You can pray to them... They also have wisdom, tenacity, and an indomitable Spirit... They arrived here somewhere around 10,000 B.C.. !! A couple thousand years before the asian strain of natives... There were still savage, and terrific beasts back then. Nature is ..

  • This is very beautiful
