Rebecca Adamson Quotes

• In a society where all are related, simple decisions require the approval of nearly everyone in that society. It is society as a whole, not merely a part of it, that must survive. This is the indigenous understanding. It is the understanding in a global sense. We are all indigenous people on this planet, and we have to reorganize to get along.

• La comprensión indígena tiene su base de espiritualidad en el reconocimiento de la interconexión e interdependencia de todos los seres vivos, una visión holística y equilibrada del mundo. Todas las cosas están unidas. Todas las cosas están conectadas. Lo que le ocurre a la Tierra le ocurre a los hijos de la Tierra. La humanidad no ha tejido la red de la vida; no somos más que un hilo. Lo que le hacemos a la red, nos lo hacemos a nosotros mismos.

• En todas las comunidades indígenas en las que he estado quieren infraestructuras comunitarias y desarrollo, pero lo quieren en sus propios términos. Quieren poder utilizar sus recursos nacionales y sus bienes de forma que los protejan y los mantengan. Nuestros territorios son nuestra riqueza, nuestros principales activos. Y los pueblos indígenas utilizan y administran estos bienes para poder conseguir y mantener un medio de vida, y conseguir y mantener ese mismo medio de vida para las generaciones futuras.

• We are the canaries in the mine. If we go, the last ecosystems go. So does the wisdom of how to sustain resources, live in balance with nature, and create communities based on cooperation, not competition. I think the rest of the world is searching for these values. I know we're here to share them. But we can only share them if we're here.
