Transcript: Nature Theme Introduction

Explore Native peoples respect for the natural world.

[Narrator:]
A reverence for nature is common among all Native peoples. Unlike modern society, which erects barriers between itself and the natural world, Native cultures derive strength and healing from the land and water. Individual wellness cannot be achieved when the connection to nature is missing or contaminated. In this kiosk, you’ll hear personal stories about the importance of land, water, the environment, and the medicinal plants that have been a source of healing for millennia. You’ll also hear about Native concepts of higher power and God, and the importance of art in reflecting mankind’s place in creation.
