Oren Lyons - "We Are Part of the Earth"

[@TheraP2014]

"Although we are in different boats, you in your boat and we in our canoe, we share the same river of life." - Oren Lyons, Onondaga ❤

[@mitchlabuda7346]

If, we listen, quietly and respectfully to the, Old Ones', we can learn.

[@joycejeffries7465]

There is nothing on earth more meaningful to me than the wisdom and spirituality of Native Americans. I have learned so much from them and revere them for the simple message they convey that benefits all of us. Great Respect for Oren Lyons and other tribal leaders across USA!

"Nothing more meaningful". I hope you mean it as your opinion because there are more meaningful things too

His words prove the difference between schooling and true education, the difference between knowledge and wisdom. I'm a 57-year-old non-Indigenous grandmother, and his words ring true for me too.

Chief Oren Lyons has taught me so much. I'm very grateful to him, and to his People, for all they are doing in trying to Wake the World with their Wisdom. Thank you for this video.

[@irinadragan2978]

I've watched this video so many times...Such wise message! I love Oren Lyons.

[@FScottHall]

I love this man's spirit ... seems like family to me.

[@AngieTarasoff]

I am also in the Aboriginal Worldviews and Education class on Coursera. This course is changing me in profound ways. I am humbled by it. Ironically, this course is teaching me something really important: how much I don't know. This video asks such a powerful question. "Who are you? Who are you? Who are you? Is that it?" There is a big difference between being educated and being wise. Thank you for showing me my ignorance.

[@melissaoconnell5648]

Hear you -&- second that - Thank you ❤

[@Padoinky]

I grew up, during the 70s-80s, just south of the Onondaga Nation, in the Valley area of the city of Syracuse NY, in “The Valley Oaks” neighborhood development. I met Mr.Lyons during my 4 years at Syracuse University, during the late 80s - he is a wise and insightful man, a gifted orator, scholar, leader and athlete.

[@aldebaranredstar]

I love you, Oren Lyons, for this teaching! and for you.

[@pascalrei2202]

I could listen him for hours. So calm and good spirit. He reminds me at my grandfather.

[@brewse64]

hiy hiy ....... you are wise.you have a great gift

[@AlmostEthical]

I like it. We are not only part of the Earth, we live within the Earth, inside its atmosphere. When people are sent off-world to space stations, they have to take oxygen, water and food from the Earth with them, and even then it is very hard on their bodies.

[@devonseamoor]

I'm always touched by the wisdom and humour, the calm manner of speaking, by these beautiful brothers of mine, going back a long time. The silence of nature can be thundering, at times, and so are these words of Oren Lyons. Thank you for this 🧙‍♀🌞🌞

[@kynasnyder7646]

Such a beautiful reminder of a simple truth that is too easy to loose sight of. Thank you for reminding my heart and spirit.

[@mrsjabob]

Thank you Lakota people for enduring. I am so sorry for all of this pain at the hands of my culture. Thank you for holding on to tradition. Your time is coming again soon, I feel it in my soul. Now is the time to stand up, be strong again. Turn to more old ways! Reject the B.I.A.! Reject the false monetary system! You are one of the true people, and this earth needs you! You can inspire other First Nations with your strength to stand up as well! Live with peace and love, we are one!

[@morpher44]

[@jetto234]

I come back every now and again.. I think this one of the best videos on KZbin. The story really does give a great perspective on how we are rooted to this earth and that without it we wouldn't exist. Edit: the last part I realise is a very obvious statement but I will keep it in anyways lol peace and happiness to you all on this journey through life.

I am also taking "the Aboriginal Worldview and Education" at coursera. His words inspire me and make me think that his (or a man's who instructed him) view of life is what the current society needs. It poses a profound and essential question that "developed" society forgot to ask: what is life, who are you? This video shows that our lives are deeply rooted into the Earth and life itself is a part of a universe. Thank your for gimme a chance to watch this video. from Japan.

[@annforcier568]

Another Worldviews online viewer here..loved this story, especially as I come from a family of fisherfolk. Started this course as I completed the Coursera Astrobiology course. The juxtaposition of looking out into the universe with this one of looking inward towards humans on one little planet is especially enriching. Oddly enough, both courses give perspectives on how like a tree is a human being...

[@CroSeni]

This is something which should be learned at school... It is really shame that only lost and tallented people go to school, people who really lost their way on the way to happiness... I hope to find some other posts like this one...

I understand about learning more from life by experiencing than by school. I almost got a job as an interpreter with the dept. of natural resources, because I knew, some things, more than did the college kids who applied, because my "classroom" was the outdoors.

I know what this video is about. I am simply commenting on the background. I'm a visual person and a critical thinker, so I think a better background, one that is more relevant or has more meaning, could make a greater impact.
