…While the newcomers saw land to be tamed and resources to be exploited, the Native Nations understood the land as a living entity, to be respected and honored. They knew that true strength lay not in dominion, but in harmony. It was a wisdom that could not be measured in acres or gold, but in the enduring health of the land, the continuity of life, and the deep, abiding peace that came from living in accordance with the natural world.
