 | 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.

| "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.

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.
