The Planet Came With Instructions: How We Ignored Indigenous Wisdom And Chose Chaos Instead​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​.

BREAKING:
We're literally watching our planet die in real time because we decided the people who successfully lived here for thousands of years didn't know what they were talking about.

Plot twist:
Turns out your corporate sustainability workshop won't save us from centuries of ignoring indigenous wisdom.

Richard Oakes (Mohawk), 1942-1972. Led the 19-month occupation of Alcatraz Island and sparked the Red Power movement with a simple truth: "We are a natural part of the earth. We are an extension of the earth; we are not separate from it." They called him radical. Turns out he was just right.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Imagine speedrunning planetary destruction because you thought you were smarter than people who maintained thriving civilizations for millennia without setting the atmosphere on fire.

That's us.
That's literally what we're doing right now.

Quick rundown of how we got here:

- Indigenous people: "Hey, maybe don't take more than you need and respect the complex systems that keep us alive"

- Colonizers: "Lol watch me turn everything into a commodity real quick"

- Modern society: "Why is everything suddenly on fire?"

Let's talk about the most expensive mistake in human history: thinking we could outsmart 10,000 years of indigenous knowledge with 200 years of industrial "progress" 🤡
