Document Summary
Indians: columbus thought he made it to india so he called the people indians, given name based on falsehood. Implies something arising from the land itself never from somewhere else: archaeologists believe the people originated from asian continent 12 000 yrs ago.

Life is a cycle dynamic: season change, people change, non-random patterned change. 2 types of change: disintegration, development. We are part of nature, it is a whole. We are a small element of ecosystem: dependent on the elements of ecosystem. No one owns the whole, no one owns the land. Land= sacred space--- tells us about life--- where it happened (not when: when is not so relevant, given the dynamics of change. Relationship with sacred space is core: with all beings (physical or spirit world) People are relationships not having relationships: reminiscent of dualist delusions.
