Toxins

Just as there are many forms of people, so too are there many forms of snakes. There are those which the people put out tobacco for and those which we are to be mindful of.

As we were warned, there would be a generation when there would come to be a snake that would threaten to swallow us whole, a snake with a hunger which could never be satisfied, brought forth from under Grandfather Rocks by the grabbing hands of another people. 

The women, they would hold the ground, and with their songs and good intentions would care for the waters just as the waters care for us, bringing forth a gathering of those who walk as lightning.

• What are alternatives to oil?
• What do you imagine a future that is not reliant on oil looks like?
