What’s the difference between modern ideas of “sustainability” and indigenous ideas? Note that the native/indigenous perspective is NOT about how much we can get away with but rather “how do we create more life.”
Anishinaabeg elder Robin Greene:
“The concept is backwards. You don’t develop as much as Mother Earth can handle. For us it’s the opposite. You think about how much you can give up to promote more life. Every decision that you make is based on: Do you really need to be doing that?”

“The goal of life is to make your heartbeat match the beat of the universe, to match your nature with Nature.”
