the thoughts and philosophy of a famous native american Elder and Wise Man
His thinking resonates with that of Kenneth Boulding and Henry George who use the metaphor of Earth as a spaceship which means that we need to conserve and recycle our limited resources rather than wastefully extract and fill landfills with trash.
Native American Elder and Wise Man Phillip Deere live from 1929 to 1985. He belonged to the Muskogee/Creek tribe and was an Elder who took part in the Native American movement and International Conferences and Forums. He was a carpenter and became internationally recognized as a spiritual leader and civil and human rights activist. He was an especially skilled oral historian and storyteller. His people were moved out of their ancient living spaces in the nineteenth century.
Whilst he didn't have a formal education, Phillip Deere was literate and had a deep intellect. He retained a strong sense and understanding of a natural earth religion and he had a huge memory of prayers and incantations for healing in the forgotten native American language of Old Muskogee. He is famed for his 1980 Longest Walk speech in which he articulated native American rights.

"Prior to the coming of Columbus,
more than four hundred tribes,
speaking different languages,
having different ways,
having different religions,
lived here.
None of these tribes had jailhouses.
They had no prison walls.
They had no insane asylums.
No country today
can exist without them! "

- The voice of logic and truth can be heard only if one has an ear for it. The sounds that come from my, (please forgive the name that it was given),"native american wooden flute" is moved from me by spirit and in the air until it is heard- much more to say,but for now, thank you- Kamilah Rose
