Using story, history, and personal anecdotes, McGaa demonstrates how America has strayed from the Natural Path. The rich ancestral wisdoms from the tribal peoples of Europe and from the Indigenous peoples of America are in danger of being lost, plunging us into chaos and despair as we tear ourselves away from the energy that created and sustains us. McGaa, an Oglala Sioux, uses the example of the Lakota Tribe as a beacon and exposes Organized Religion, false Democracies, Superstition and a dangerously deluded investment in a modern-man life model for the destructive forces that they really are. McGaa offers arguments, examples and possible solutions to the dangers of climate change in order that generations to come will be free to know the value and purpose of humanity’s place on Mother Earth.

“These ways are not for us alone. They must be shared.” Frank Fools Crow, Chief Medicine Man, Oglala Lakota, Sioux tribe.

There are two kinds of people in this world.
The first seeks knowledge; the second seeks gratification.
The first trembles with anger when injustice is done to others; the second is numb and unconcerned.
The first recognizes their duty to speak out; the second dismisses injustice as being out of their hands or simply ‘the way it is.’
The first is loyal and loving to their human & non-human brothers and sisters; while the second is loyal to their nation.
The first rejects dogma and thinks independently; the second blindly respects authority and bitterly ridicules free thinkers.
The first is humble, always knowing that they could be wrong; the second rigidly adheres to beliefs which ossify with time.
The first removes themselves from contributing to the system of oppression in any and all ways; the second does nothing because they are comfortable.

Which one are you?
