WEBVTT

00:00:41.480 --> 00:00:43.620
It

00:00:53.310 --> 00:00:55.910
Has been

00:01:12.040 --> 00:01:16.950
evolving over 4 billion years.

00:01:17.530 --> 00:01:23.040
The only watering hole millions of miles

00:01:23.640 --> 00:01:31.640
We just 12 thousand years
since the last Ice Age.

00:01:34.760 --> 00:01:41.400
A brief time for a human inspiration
and conquest of the Lyle.

00:02:01.570 --> 00:02:06.513
Ancient writing on cliffs
around the world says

00:02:06.514 --> 00:02:14.514
we perform ceremonies and renewal and
here this is a place of the spirit.

00:02:14.930 --> 00:02:18.690
This is sacred land.

00:03:21.910 --> 00:03:27.664
Our grandfathers always
told us go to the mountain.

00:03:27.665 --> 00:03:29.449
Hitting say go to the Helios.

00:03:29.450 --> 00:03:31.054
He said go to the moms

00:03:31.055 --> 00:03:35.659
And that\'s where we go to
the mouse to Stan past and

00:03:35.660 --> 00:03:42.574
amounts to make a connection so that
the whole moms to us it\'s very holy.

00:03:42.575 --> 00:03:46.654
This is where we are
communicating with spirit.

00:03:46.655 --> 00:03:51.964
We can understand we can hear
things that their spiritual ear or

00:03:51.965 --> 00:03:55.339
the spiritual eye the not necessarily a

00:03:55.340 --> 00:03:59.239
physical at this moment but the spirit
shy they can understand the seed things.

00:03:59.240 --> 00:04:04.159
This is where we are and this is where the
mountain is holy place that we go up to

00:04:04.160 --> 00:04:12.160
four Vision Quest or for for fasting to
understand and communicate. That as we go

00:04:12.620 --> 00:04:17.239
people go up into the
mountains to meditate.

00:04:17.240 --> 00:04:23.089
They have to have everything quiet about
them except for the natural sounds.

00:04:23.090 --> 00:04:28.620
When we go up there it\'s a very
secluded place a very quiet place.

00:04:29.110 --> 00:04:33.439
And this is a sacred
part of the environment.

00:04:33.440 --> 00:04:37.189
This all we\'re talking about the
sacredness of the mountains.

00:04:37.190 --> 00:04:38.479
This is what we are telling.

00:04:38.480 --> 00:04:40.769
Do not disturb the sickness of the map.

00:04:40.770 --> 00:04:45.439
This is the level of life and
understanding gotta keep that up.

00:04:45.440 --> 00:04:48.169
And this is what we\'re. This is what is

00:04:48.170 --> 00:04:51.810
happening to all of us would
not quite understand that

00:04:54.690 --> 00:04:58.880
my grandson and I were up on a mountain.

00:04:59.220 --> 00:05:03.459
On the last night we were up and
I had a vision or dream that

00:05:03.460 --> 00:05:07.599
wasn\'t quite a dream but
sounds that come into my mind.

00:05:07.600 --> 00:05:09.669
You came from the frustrated

00:05:09.670 --> 00:05:14.139
where you come from the frustrated
where what are you gonna do about

00:05:14.140 --> 00:05:17.949
it so the purpose of a vision quest up

00:05:17.950 --> 00:05:21.924
there was that we went up
there to learn those things.

00:05:21.925 --> 00:05:26.229
We came from the from the
world of troubled world.

00:05:26.230 --> 00:05:30.924
We amount that trebled world one that
people that are haven\'t lived up problems.

00:05:30.925 --> 00:05:37.919
So as a result the vision we
are gonna do many things more

00:05:37.920 --> 00:05:40.609
for herself and the people saw

00:05:40.610 --> 00:05:45.240
the world can realize that we\'ve got to
have peace and harmony on this earth.

00:05:45.730 --> 00:05:49.939
With our ini and people who have
lattice ceremonies that we conduct.

00:05:49.940 --> 00:05:55.219
And also we have many songs that
tell us and remind us we have

00:05:55.220 --> 00:06:00.859
to continually be involved with our minds
and spirit with the circle of life.

00:06:00.860 --> 00:06:07.650
And this is a song that was given
to me to give to the young people

00:06:57.820 --> 00:07:02.704
In my mind comes the image of a warrior

00:07:02.705 --> 00:07:07.324
Today as we understand that there
are things it\'s going to be coming.

00:07:07.325 --> 00:07:09.349
We will stand fast.

00:07:09.350 --> 00:07:14.419
And saying this song that
we\'re facing head on.

00:07:14.420 --> 00:07:19.294
Then possibly we will go through it.

00:07:19.295 --> 00:07:25.710
We understand and have paid a lot
of things that we have been told

00:07:58.810 --> 00:08:06.524
When you see an eruption whether there\'s
Steve and the beautiful lava manifestations.

00:08:06.525 --> 00:08:11.760
Or when you smell the soft.

00:08:13.090 --> 00:08:17.539
Wherever the Earth is hot at

00:08:17.540 --> 00:08:25.540
spelling is philosophical or theological

00:08:26.285 --> 00:08:31.834
Expression very religious
expression of the where

00:08:31.835 --> 00:08:37.249
the native Hawaiian and other
traditions relate to the land loved

00:08:37.250 --> 00:08:43.774
the land take care of the land and are
responsible for the resources of the land.

00:08:43.775 --> 00:08:49.579
When applied to the rain forests
and forests here no way.

00:08:49.580 --> 00:08:53.059
It\'s got that real deep-seated feeling

00:08:53.060 --> 00:08:56.659
of other traditions that come
down as the Forest traditions.

00:08:56.660 --> 00:09:04.660
Mostly with the goddess Pele and her
sisters who are the forests to our volcano

00:09:10.090 --> 00:09:15.889
Hot steam deep in the earth
generates electric power.

00:09:15.890 --> 00:09:18.930
Geothermal energy.

00:09:19.060 --> 00:09:25.204
Government plans envision 250 wells.

00:09:25.205 --> 00:09:29.269
A maze of roads and transmission lines.

00:09:29.270 --> 00:09:34.650
Thousands of acres of rainforest laws.

00:09:36.370 --> 00:09:41.944
Geothermal development certainly
is an obvious assault to Pelley.

00:09:41.945 --> 00:09:47.764
It\'s a desecration is going
into her sacred body of sorts.

00:09:47.765 --> 00:09:50.689
It\'s ripping up the forests where

00:09:50.690 --> 00:09:55.189
Where she lives on enters this is
live on and developing the wells.

00:09:55.190 --> 00:09:59.509
It\'s the taking of the steam is is it\'s

00:09:59.510 --> 00:10:07.339
the obvious use of steam to further
destroy this island Hawaii.

00:10:07.340 --> 00:10:11.899
And the state is it\'s it\'s
gotta cumulative impact.

00:10:11.900 --> 00:10:15.409
It\'s the socket into development.

00:10:15.410 --> 00:10:18.919
Industrialization is is
read clearly honest way.

00:10:18.920 --> 00:10:22.410
Given this excess energy

00:10:39.210 --> 00:10:41.720
Yeah

00:11:29.830 --> 00:11:32.310
well what

00:11:41.110 --> 00:11:49.110
brought those properties

00:11:51.520 --> 00:11:56.280
have extensive illegally and we will use.

00:12:22.290 --> 00:12:24.740
Right.

00:12:55.320 --> 00:13:01.134
But actually opener forest
is a part of Pele\'s domain.

00:13:01.135 --> 00:13:02.544
There is this fear.

00:13:02.545 --> 00:13:08.514
If she is manipulated into xi if
they put these drills into her bosom

00:13:08.515 --> 00:13:15.129
that it will dissipate her energy and
that it will that she will come no more.

00:13:15.130 --> 00:13:16.839
And I was she barest more.

00:13:16.840 --> 00:13:19.779
Because she is the bearer of the land.

00:13:19.780 --> 00:13:23.324
And as you see you know
what is happening right now

00:13:23.325 --> 00:13:27.649
From kilowatt She has been going
for the past seven years.

00:13:27.650 --> 00:13:33.214
Beginning from when they got their
first permit to drill for geothermal.

00:13:33.215 --> 00:13:37.459
Why she\'s coming now is because of
the greed and the destruction and

00:13:37.460 --> 00:13:41.794
the desecration that the geothermal
energy will do to her domain.

00:13:41.795 --> 00:13:43.879
And this is all of her domain.

00:13:43.880 --> 00:13:47.644
This is where she flow this is
where it she may pop up anytime.

00:13:47.645 --> 00:13:50.734
And this is the island that\'s
still grows because of planning.

00:13:50.735 --> 00:13:55.800
And because she lives
we want her to continue

00:14:39.460 --> 00:14:46.129
Land and my inseparable
advanced unbroken web.

00:14:46.130 --> 00:14:52.579
The well-being of the home affected
by each individual action.

00:14:52.580 --> 00:15:00.210
Endangered species endangered
cultures endangered planet.

00:15:01.150 --> 00:15:06.349
New warriors arrives to defend
dwindling wilderness and they

00:15:06.350 --> 00:15:13.174
adds Homosapien are used
superior or a part of nature.

00:15:13.175 --> 00:15:21.175
And where is home the
answers are old and new

00:15:30.370 --> 00:15:35.944
Wilderness is 3.5 billion
years of evolution.

00:15:35.945 --> 00:15:37.969
It\'s a center of life on the planet.

00:15:37.970 --> 00:15:40.204
It\'s where evolution still operating.

00:15:40.205 --> 00:15:46.024
It\'s the whole flow stream
of energy on the planet.

00:15:46.025 --> 00:15:49.999
And our Western culture were
so fixated on the idea of the

00:15:50.000 --> 00:15:53.419
individual but where life really is is in

00:15:53.420 --> 00:15:57.589
the species in the community the whole
ecosystem that\'s where the flow

00:15:57.590 --> 00:16:01.789
of life is individual really
isn\'t the repository of that.

00:16:01.790 --> 00:16:03.514
And so what we\'re saying

00:16:03.515 --> 00:16:07.969
is that the whole nation of
grizzly bears is important.

00:16:07.970 --> 00:16:12.379
The Aspen forest is important the ecosystem
of the Rockies the mixed conifer

00:16:12.380 --> 00:16:17.389
forest the meadows of foothills the
sage brush. That\'s what\'s important.

00:16:17.390 --> 00:16:18.739
That\'s where the flow is.

00:16:18.740 --> 00:16:20.974
That\'s where we belong as

00:16:20.975 --> 00:16:28.975
integral elements for 99% of

00:16:29.240 --> 00:16:31.249
our existence as human beings we

00:16:31.250 --> 00:16:34.219
have lived in the wilderness
who had been hunter-gatherers.

00:16:34.220 --> 00:16:36.499
My relatives in Northern Europe

00:16:36.500 --> 00:16:40.684
1500 years ago were running
around and bear\'s skin to spares.

00:16:40.685 --> 00:16:42.169
They were a tribal people.

00:16:42.170 --> 00:16:46.114
You don\'t have to just look at
the American Indians or the

00:16:46.115 --> 00:16:49.399
Australian Aborigines or the Bushmen all of

00:16:49.400 --> 00:16:52.489
us no matter what our
ethnic background is are

00:16:52.490 --> 00:16:59.269
victims of the so-called civilised
conquest of the wilderness.

00:16:59.270 --> 00:17:07.099
And we think that dominant Western civilization
that were the top of the food chain.

00:17:07.100 --> 00:17:11.314
So we have more rights because
our machines give us more power.

00:17:11.315 --> 00:17:14.359
That therefore we have

00:17:14.360 --> 00:17:18.484
carte blanche to dominate everything
to destroy it for our own ends.

00:17:18.485 --> 00:17:21.889
That\'s the whole idea of might makes right.

00:17:21.890 --> 00:17:23.719
And that\'s wrong.

00:17:23.720 --> 00:17:28.264
Wilderness as a moral question as
a right to exist for its own sake

00:17:28.265 --> 00:17:31.129
Intrinsic value and how does

00:17:31.130 --> 00:17:35.089
your individual connection to the
wilderness need to your defensively

00:17:35.090 --> 00:17:42.409
Well I don\'t think you can can understand
something I don\'t think you can defend it.

00:17:42.410 --> 00:17:44.584
I don\'t think you can adequately

00:17:44.585 --> 00:17:49.744
appreciate something like
wilderness without experiencing it.

00:17:49.745 --> 00:17:53.209
And I\'m not saying to experience it as as

00:17:53.210 --> 00:17:59.839
a passenger on a McDonalds style fast food
motorized float trip to the Grand Canyon.

00:17:59.840 --> 00:18:03.349
That\'s a Disneyland outdoor experience.

00:18:03.350 --> 00:18:09.379
You can\'t do it by approaching the wilderness
is some mountaineers or kayakers or dirt.

00:18:09.380 --> 00:18:10.774
Bikers du is

00:18:10.775 --> 00:18:15.049
as a playground as something that
conquered to prove your mastery

00:18:15.050 --> 00:18:20.419
over you have to approach
wilderness and an a humble fashion.

00:18:20.420 --> 00:18:22.474
You have to approach it openly.

00:18:22.475 --> 00:18:25.789
You have to approach it
spiritually to listen to

00:18:25.790 --> 00:18:29.419
the aspen trees delay in the meadow
and see what the spiders can tell

00:18:29.420 --> 00:18:36.424
you to to listen to the sound that the birds
wings like 1000 feet above you in there

00:18:36.425 --> 00:18:41.479
the goose music to feel the seasons
to know that to the wilderness

00:18:41.480 --> 00:18:47.329
your insignificant it doesn\'t care if you\'re
hot or cold or thirsty or wet or miserable.

00:18:47.330 --> 00:18:49.939
But you\'re part of it.

00:18:49.940 --> 00:18:51.799
And by being part of it

00:18:51.800 --> 00:18:56.359
even though that makes you feel small and
insignificant and makes you feel so much

00:18:56.360 --> 00:18:58.519
larger and stronger because you\'re part

00:18:58.520 --> 00:19:00.829
of this whole flow of life
you\'re the grizzly bear.

00:19:00.830 --> 00:19:03.874
Here are the allocator the aspen grove.
You\'re the mountain.

00:19:03.875 --> 00:19:08.179
You\'re the strain. You\'re the
glacier you\'re the wind the rain.

00:19:08.180 --> 00:19:12.469
And when you can do that I
think you really do understand

00:19:12.470 --> 00:19:17.359
wilderness that gives you the
energy the creativity and

00:19:17.360 --> 00:19:21.769
the power and the passion to go out and
defend it because you\'re defending

00:19:21.770 --> 00:19:27.240
yourself and it\'s not just you acting
it\'s it\'s everything acting through you
