He tried to bring awareness about our planet and how it was being destroyed and even tried to get people to rally against those destroying it. His name was Chief Dan George.
I think we forgot to listen but I wonder if the new generation of young adults would be interested, are you?
I'm very worried about the future of our planet, how about you?

Native Indians have a history of living off the land and respecting it- they are the first to see how things are getting worse, I'm afraid.

The damage is done @MarymargII just look at how much a good rain eroded an area simply because we've stripped all the trees away.

Parents aren't teaching their children to try to support themselves anymore @LadyDuck all the kids I know are focused on simply having fun all the time so when they reach the age of 18 and are out of school they have no clue how to take care of themselves.

there's quite a few 'f the 'elders' who did their best to share their wisdom with a calm 'n knowin' tongue. sadly, such seemed to be 'pon deaf ears. i love listenin' to 'em via youtube, givin' that much more power to their wise words passed down to 'em from their ancestors.

somehow I think those wise words mean more as we get older although I do recall how a lot of people back in the late 60s were really into the Native American cause. I wonder what happened aside from greed@rebelann (111194)

Yeah, and I'm guessin it's that the media dropped the ball, they're never interested in the welfare of our world, to them its always about the all mighty $ so that anything of real importance goes unnoticed by the sheep that follow their every word @crazyhorseladycx

Of course. Chief Dan George was a late in life actor who received an Oscar nomination for his performance in Little Big Man.

Yeah, that's probably how a lot of people know him @JohnRoberts at least he was able to help his tribe and his videos about his beliefs are also on YouTube which is when I found out about him, I guess I didn't remember him in Little Big Man.

As wikipedia states, he was the band leader of the "Tsleil-Waututh Nation from 1951 to 1963"
I learned more about our native Americans thanks to this man.
