“The First Nations people view themselves not as custodians, stewards or having dominion over the Earth, but as an integrated part in the family of the Earth. The Earth is my mother and the animals, plants and minerals are my brothers and sisters.” —F. Henry Lickers Biologist, member of the Turtle Clan of the Seneca Nation “The greatest challenge to face mankind is upon us. We, as humans, have initiated one of the greatest episodes of mass extinction the world has ever seen. If we are to survive, not only is our way of living going to change drastically within our generation, but we also must take control now to better manage our natural resources, decrease current extinction rates, and so conserve a large portion of our biodiversity. We MUST do this immediately.”
