      Too late for that. Corporate control of our information system (the media), handed over during the Reagan and Clinton presidencies, has resulted in the political process being commandeered by corporate interests. She will not be allowed to run the Department of the Interior nor will we be allowed to vote on anyone who will appoint her. Sanders was the last person that could have appointed her, and the Democratic party will never allow him, much less any other progressive, to run agian.

      @@crli4353 what you suggest is the very darwinist vision I also used to have by time. However the opposite is the crucial thought of this speech:
      What if mankind's existence on earth wasn't merely casual and interchangeable? What if we do have a purpose in the creation? What if we just forgot how to be good creatures? And what if we could just change direction and come back to where we belong?
      It's about the myth of the original sin for what humans fell.

      @@astriziaIt makes no difference really if you look at our existence from randomness or creation. The facts are the facts. We have and continue to destroy this planet, to this day, either through greed, what I believe to be the flaw in our species, or through free will, the flaw in creationist theory. Im not sure why you presume our species, at any time in our history, were "good creatures" because there is no evidence of this at all. In fact its quite the contrary. There is no "coming back to where we belong" because that would require more TIME than our species has to live on this planet. Our water is contaminated, our air is contaminated, our food is contaminated, cancer is on the rise year after year and we continue to have the hubris to believe we are capable of using and maintaining the most dangerous substance known to man (uranium), at a profit. Where there is a beginning there will always be an end, it is this formula that has proven itself time after time. We have accelerated our end for profit and as such, it will come sooner than later.

We need to begin by returning to them the lands we took and let them implement their knowledge and wisdom as they once did, teaching us how to live according to those ways and forsaking all sense of dominion over and financial profit from the Earth who brought us forth and gave us life.

      Take no notice of the "dead inside" replies. I agree with you, she is an inspirational and moving speaker. A word of caution though, native Americans like indigenous Australians try to take too much credit for the ways of their ancestors. Rather than wise ancestors looking over their environment and "managing" it in an optimal way, I suspect they were simple tribal types just trying to make a living in the environment they found themselves. And being just another species on the plane and in the food web they fitted right in.

    It has been amazing to watch you blossom into who you were able to give to this audience. You brought tears to my eyes that filled my heart with pride and admiration for you.
    As a woman I share an agreement with you about these values. While I have been brought up to value this world somewhat similarly I cannot say that I have more fully understood the intent of the valuing than I did from listening to your presentation.
    I am at least twice your age. My life has been spent in service to children and adults with cognitive and speech - language challenges.
    Until I heard your presentation today I have been feeling like the world would be better off without me. I thank you for sharing a most important message for us all to remember- it is the systems that need modification!
    It is the willingness and openness of each heart to stop making the mistaken choice that we are each here to preserve our lone survival.
    Congrats on your great achievement for all of the Dineh people and for us all. Many blessings to you.

      @@sonyacanter9724 thank you for the feedback too. When I came back over to read and reply to your comment I noticed yet one more nuanced thing that doesn’t seem like much but it is one of many small things that seems to hack away at me unless I notice. I’m specifically noting today that the “heart” for when we positively affirm another’s response seems to have been removed.
      Lately this social platform (among others) seems so heavily programmed to weed out so much positive and/or supportive nonverbal as well as verbal feedback that we have relied on in interpersonal communication. In addition, as it continues to hack away at the unique and varied perspectives and opinions of individuals that it appears to be a campaign to intentionally or by some odd default is cultivating the compassionate humanity out of us in one way while simultaneously conditioning us all to be less expressive of any feelings, sentiments, emotions that may reflect anything short of “zombie”-like nature.

This is not the type of complaint, protest, or discriminatory rant of degradation we have been consistently subjected to in the last decade dividing people of all levels. Rather, a well-presented, educated statement described eloquently to her listeners. Congratulations Lyla June, you are the first of the native peoples of the world to convey a message many of us have failed to do, (speaking for myself only). 👏

We need to figure out how to get access to land free and unencumbered by debt and capitalistic manipulation, with stewards living with the land in such a way that they are not motivated by the compulsory methodologies of the capitalist system, that demands production and the commodification of anything and everything. With this level of freedom, with patient and watchful eyes, teaching and learning stewards can reweave the connections that make redundant and strong ecosystems, making healing and thriving easier and more accessible to all.

Yes, people around the world lived effectively with nature - even if not marked out in written science volumes. I hope your call from the deep pains of devastation could touch souls that may now accept that native peoples never wanted a fight. As in Africa, and all over various corners of the world, natives rise again with incredible forgiveness to appeal to the wider society that we are really all one. Yes, we can also do differently. We can work with mother Nature for a more guaranteed future for all humanity. Thank you for your beautiful thoughts. May our world listen instead of live in fear for our past cruelties. All life on earth - plants, animals and microbes - cries out for mankind to lead all lives better. Then, we can all tap into the life of this Earth as children of one loving mother: NATURE.

      If you bury fresh wood beneath the garden, it creates a wonderful ecosystem for beneficial bacteria, but if you turn it into biochar first it will widen the pores and pathways these bacteria live in, transforming the wood into an immensely larger ecosystem.
