Tell the Tale

It feels like we are living in a time of apocalypse,
an age when everything we take for granted is starting to collapse around us.
It feels like the end of the world.…
This situation is nothing new for me as a Native American.
My ancestors already lived through an apocalypse.…
Native American culture in North America has been through the collapse of civilization
and lived to tell the tale.

    Powerful. I often wonder what the world would be like today if they weren’t. It would make for an excellent “alternative history” novel (and/or TV show) much like the alternative history of “The Man in the High Castle” where the outcome of WWII was different. So many lessons about connection with nature would be retained I bet.

      It can seem like the worst of times but it may be the necessary path to reorder and a connection to nature as well as ourselves. The image caught my eye as the sun was lighting it up so I got down on my knees (and got back up). 😂
