12 Native American Quotes That Will Make You Question The Current Human Experience

Across the globe we are seeing indigenous elders from various locations on the planet coming forward to share wisdom that is so desperately needed.

All of us who live on the planet are feeling the heat as we recognize that the time for change is now, and that this window of opportunity won’t be open forever.
