as a wise old owl perched upon the ancient oak, i've seen the land and its stories unfold. in the intimate light of the campfire, native americans used to gather, their voices weaving the rich tapestry of their history. from the outset, their stories commence, omitting nothing of their vibrant cultures and deeply held beliefs. they shared a pre-indicative understanding of the earth, a directive to live in harmony with nature. this intimate connection with the land and each other was the cornerstone of their way of life, guiding them through the cycles of seasons and the tapestry of life.
