Everything is changing and we obviously can’t live the way that we used to — we can’t escape western science and we don’t want to and I think that it would be really beneficial to understand how they go hand in hand and how
the Natives were practicing science and people didn’t even realize it and how it was a lot
healthier for the earth and how we can do that now with more back up from western science and
show that what they were doing was actual right. Then we can learn more through science but
also having like the culture aspect [so] I feel you are more connected to the earth and what you are doing.
