The Kogi Indians
'From the Heart of the World - The Elder Brothers' Warning', a BBC documentary
made by Alan Ereira in 1990. The film contained a strong message
of warning concerning the environment.

"Up to now we have ignored the Younger Brother.
We have not deigned even to give him a slap.
But now we can no longer look after the world alone.
The Younger Brother is doing too much damage.
He must see, and understand, and assume responsibility.
Now we will have to work together.
Otherwise, the world will die."
- Kogi Mama

I can not express the importance of studying the Kogi view of the world enough
to any on this thread who seek to understand the change that is coming.

1. Yes, there have been 10s of thousands of culture's other than our own
who lived sustainable and happy lives.

The future of our planet depends on saving both the remaining biologically diverse ecosystems and the cultural, credible diversity of the tribal peoples of the world. The ancient cultures of native peoples, threatened by modern assimilation, are the only known, proven time-tested models for the sustainable consumption of the Earth’s threatened natural resources.

Native Planet hopes that you enjoy our cultural documentaries that will show you the fascinating world of indigenous peoples and their unique cultures—and why the preservation of their tribal lifeways is essential to a world where life is sustainable and both cultural diversity and biological diversity flourish.
