I resonate with this so much it gives me chills. We are fighting for Mauna Kea right now and to preserve our land, sea and resources is our kuleana responsibility!! I believe we are cousins 💚

Greetings all that read this I'm Dyana Golden Eagle Medicine Woman..I am a HEALER since a child born with gifts and abilities with visions that continue to show and the message is to collectively come together as one people and share the ancient stories allowing all to see and remember the old ways of honoring land and each other as people on earth. None above or below on the great circle on life.. It is 2019 and the veil is thin now as the big shift happened in 2012 and its becoming thinner as we become aware of what is happening to change the old negative ways and grow together to grow as one for the greater good.. HAIDA GAWAII IS ON SACRED LAND THE ANCIENT LEMURIA ... WE HONOR ALL THE PEOPLE ON THE ISLAND .. MANY BLESSINGS OF UNCONDITIONAL LOVE TO THE PEOPLE AND THE LAND..

Sensible people, reasonable arguments. To protect what we have as Canadians and as people of the earth we must listen to what Haida elders say about sustainable and existing as human beings equal with nature, living in balance. This is for all of us, and should be everywhere, at least everywhere in Canada. The most nature loving and respecting people on the planet. Or at least that's what we supposed to be. The rest of the world knows us that way. Let's give Haida Gwaii's way of life a chance.

Ha, of course. I wish that too. Believe me, I’m a passionate Environmental Engineer who cares deeply for and respects all life and nature on this earth. Unfortunately, too many human beings are very selfish and greedy. They would often rather rape and steal from the land, actually even destroy it and slaughter animals and all living beings and destroy their habitat just to make a dollar. It’s extremely short sighted and actually very sickening. Humans are the only animals on earth who are destroying it. Conversely, First Nations People’s are the only ones who actually have a lifestyle that respects and values this earth. The ‘white man’ is so ignorant and greedy not to follow their way of life living in balance and harmony with nature. Just speaking the truth.

What a trash comment to make. Are the Romans still around? The Haida were a few thousand years before the Romans and looks like they had a good thing going (if it's not broken don't fix it) until certain invaders forced them to change. Shove your anglocentric chest beating up your ass

@rosestewart1606 6 жыл бұрын

The Roman arenas weren't just about architecture. To a large extent they were about political control. There are many cultures that built in wood because it was plentiful and didn't require the impact of permanence and authority that the Romans needed. It's funny because you don't seem to know very much about the Romans either 😂
