Earth is our Mother, our home, and in the case of indigenous elder Tiokasin Ghosthorse, Earth is also our employer. His view is that Earth comes first. We need to expand our understanding and realize that we work for Her to sustain her, so that we in exchange can be sustained by her gifts. In today’s fast-paced world, so many of us have lost touch with Mother Nature. We’re constantly surrounded by technology, running from one responsibility to the next, rarely taking a moment to step outside and just breathe. The natural world, once central to our lives, has become something we visit occasionally rather than something we live within every day. But deep down, we’re still a part of it— no different from the trees, rivers, and animals. Nature is the foundation of everything we are. The air we breathe, the water we drink, the food we eat— it all comes from the earth. By losing touch with this, we risk losing something essential in ourselves. It's time to slow down, take a step back, and remember that we belong to the natural world just as much as it belongs to us. Reconnecting with it not only restores our sense of balance but also reminds us of our responsibility to care for the planet that sustains us.
