"I am one with the land. It is my mother and father. From the land I came and to the land I will go. I must treat the land as I treat my brothers and sisters. If I sustain them, they will sustain me." From an American Indian (Sioux) creed.



"The Dreaming means our identity as people. The cultural teaching and everything, that's part of our lives here, you know?· it's the understanding of what we have around us." (Aboriginal Elder)

 

Here we studied the needs of humans as it applied to our past ancestors, our present lives, and the future of humankind.  This is what we learned about each other as we worked together as individuals and as a group.
