Endangered Cultures

A brilliant TED video recommended by my friend Maggie Dale shows the wonder of cultural diversity within the 'ethnosphere,' especially among indigenous cultures. This video highlights what is lost when the forces of industrialzation overwhelm native peoples; language, culture, and a unique understanding of reality.

Thanks Maggie!

"Take away all doubts, all fears, and only your spirit remains: pure love; that is as close to our Creator as we can be." ~Ed Moses

"It is the same for all men. None of us can escape this shadow of the father, even if that shadow fills us with fear, even if it has no name or face. To be worthy of that man, to prove something to that man, to exorcise the memory of that man from every corner of our life—however it affects us, the shadow of that man cannot be denied." ~Kent Nerburn

"The first thing I learned was respect for all things, because everything has a spirit." ~Ed Moses

"My religion starts from the heart." ~Ed Moses

"Songs made from dreams hold their power forever. Any power given in a dream is a gift from the spirit to help the people." ~Ed Moses

"A daughter is a gift of love." ~Author Unknown

"My Daughter has made the darkness in my heart light up brighter than I ever thought possible. My Daughter gives me a reason to live and try each and every day. I cannot thank our Lord enough for blessing me with her. And as blessings come, so do disappointments. There are trials and rewards throughout everyone's life. My Daughter had helped me through the most difficult times of my life. I can only pray she will allow me to be there for hers." ~Georgene Maciolek
