They're functioning as the birthright of humanity right there.
So I've spent a lot of time with tribes all over the world from Africa to South America, deep Amazon jungle, everything else.
And anytime you're with a culture that is still indigenous, meaning –
All of us are obviously indigenous to the planet.
We're all made of her.
These are her minerals.
This is Mother Earth incarnate in my body.
So I'm as indigenous as anybody else, but my culture is horribly degraded in its relationship to nature.
And so when we say there's an indigenous culture, these tribes you're speaking to, what we're saying is this is humans that have not lost their context.
These are humans that have not become abstract in their value systems or reward systems.
And so what they're functioning as there has great evidence of
is that humans were actually designed to be a keystone species of keystone species.
A keystone species is characterized by its capacity to participate in life.
Wherever a keystone species sets its foot, there's more biodiversity, more life force, more ecstatic expression of beauty, more intelligence in the natural system.
Amazon jungle is the best example of it right now.
That is a man-made forest.
We have a forest that was designed by hundreds of nations that lived for 40,000 years in an ecosystem and planted the largest food forests that the world has ever seen.
It is a managed forest, and as the management started to degrade, as those peoples were displaced or lost, the ecosystem is returning back towards a desertification cycle, which is an inevitable process there.
Humans, in right relationship to nature, are a keystone species.
You can see this with wolves being reintroduced to a Yellowstone.
