A Final For One Of My Classes, My Profesor Said I Should Post This Somewhere :)

A final for one of my classes, my profesor said i should post this somewhere :)

words belong to Alanis Obomsawin,

an American-Canadian of Abenaki descent, a documentary filmmaker, though this is not where I first heard them.

Native American saying, first written in 1972. Still relevant when more than half a century old, and we can see how it manifests itself in real time. I personally came across a version of it in Aurora's song "The Seed," originally titled "Eat Money." Quoting her "It's about human history, about how we've co-existed in the world and how we've forgotten how to live with nature and the power we have."
