In this video it is evident that the Native Americans' culture revolved around nature and the well being of nature. The Native Americans revered the land they lived on and the animals that lived there as well. Everything they did was for the good of nature. There were ceremonies related to the land and animals. These ceremonies the Native Americans believed would help appease the spirits of the land and the animals. Every part of the ecosystem had a part to them. They used everything in their resources including plants, animals, and natural occurences like rain and snow. Nothing the Native Americans ever used was wasted. They had a purpose for every part of nature they used. They used every part of an animal and used plants for various tasks besides food including medicine.

I showed this video to the regular classes last week. I like the song and the message, as well as all the pictures of totems.
ReplyDeleteVery true. Everything comes from nature, and at some point in time originated from nature. We should rejoice in our food and animals. Without it we wouldn't be alive.
