GNRT THOUGHTS INDIGENOUSNESS

You may have noticed throughout our trip across this country over every mountain, river and stream as we’ve marveled at all her beauty there’s been an underlying theme. With every mile we drove…every step we walked we quickly began to understand… no matter where we go in this country there is an indigenousness to the land. Everywhere we traveled we found stories of indigenous legends, of their cultures…of their giving of those who were here long before we came to colonize and destroy their way of living Across this country we have crossed innumerable indigenous remains from Seattle, Washington all the way to Indian Harbor, Maine. (In case you’re wondering…Indian Harbor…the last name that I dropped was the original name of Corea, Maine…the last place that we stopped.) And it saddens us to think how different our world would be If it could have been designed… with the indigenous knowledge, legends and folklore we so callously left behind There is sill hope for our country…we believe still time to change…to understand but to do this first… we must stop…and listen to the indigenousness of the land
