For over 14,000 years, the Indigenous people of Southern New England have endured and flourished amidst extreme and dramatic climate and environmental changes. Similar to our present and near future, they faced unprecedented warming temperatures that brought about a profound transformation in their environment's climate, ecology, and biodiversity. How did they achieve such success? Despite facing immense environmental challenges, they adapted and thrived because of their deep perception and conscious relationship with every living and non-animate element within their environment. Unlike our modern society, which views humanity as separate from nature and therefore free to exploit all of creation for our benefit, Indigenous people understood that we humans are part of a web of interconnected and interdependent energy and consciousness within a Living Earth. They lived in spiritual harmony with all of creation, honoring and reciprocating with gratitude and respect for all its aspects. By adopting the perceptive and consciously interconnected view of all creation that has sustained Indigenous people for thousands of years, we can embark on a transformative journey that will heal our relationship with the Living Earth for ourselves and future generations. The future of life on our planet rests in our hands.
