The
role of globalization is to homogenize all cultures,
and to turn them into commodified markets, and
therefore, to make them easier for global corporations
to control. Global corporations are even now trying
to commodify all remaining aspects of national
cultures, not to mention indigenous cultures.
-- Jerry Mander

"I
want to be remembered as the person who helped
us restore faith in ourselves."
-- Wilma Mankiller
"One
of the things my parents taught me, and I'll always
be grateful for the gift, is to not ever let anybody
else define me."
-- Wilma Mankiller

I
think the most important issue we have as a people
is what we started, and that is to begin to trust
our own thinking again and belive in ourselves
enough to think that we can articulate our own
vision of the future and then work to make sure
that that vision becomes a reality.
-- Wilma Mankiller

Information
in the computer age is the last genuine free market
left on earth except those free markets where
indigenous people are still surviving. And that's
basically becoming limited.

We
are not myths of the past, ruins in the jungle,
or zoos. We are people and we want to be respected,
not to be victims of intolerance and racism.

Indigenous
peoples living on their ancestral lands can help
industrialized countries by living in a sustainable
manner (not the contrary). If we destroy their environments
and communities, we will lose the answers they have
to solving our problems, and to the protection of
our common futures.

Any
journey of 1,000 miles begins with a single step. The
collision of short and long food chains strategies are
at the basis of our current crisis. Indigenous peoples
living on their ancestral lands can help industrialized
countries by living in a sustainable manner (not the
contrary). If we destroy their environments and communities,
we will lose the answers they have to solving our problems,
and to the protection of our common futures. The most
complex nuclear power station is less important than
a tropical tree, and the most simple and sustainable
answer more useful than any National Library.
