RE: BLUER than Green: Part DEUX
I'm not familiar with aboriginal American's philisophies, but I will look into it. Truth is truth, no matter where it is found. I think Mollison and Holmgren were just the first to put the truths that had been around for a long time into a singular place.
Sorry, I'm still getting used to Steemit, I used "aboriginal Americans" instead of Indians. Getting slapped for not being PC can make you a little gun-shy. I'd have to dig but there was an American Indian Chief that basically said they didn't understand the white-man's concept of owning land, that it would be like saying you owned the sky or the air.
In the USA, these days, the usual term is "native Americans".
In Canada, we usually use "first nations".
But "aboriginal" sounds so smart. ;-)
Sure, but I don't think you are from Australia.
Damn, I've been caught red-handed committing "cultural appropriation".
