Seeing Creation Through Indigenous Eyes

If we are to really understand the Scriptures, in which the mountains and the hills can give praise and bear witness, in which the human relationship with the rest of creation is one of kinship rather than domination, in which all things are part of a creation that is immeasurably bigger than we are, indigenous people have something to teach us. And what they have to teach us is not information or something easy. It is nothing less than a different way of seeing the world, a way of seeing the world in which the Creation around us is holy, sacred and alive. The health of the natural world, our very survival, not to mention our faithfulness to seeing the world as Jesus sees it, may well depend on us learning those lessons.
