Absolutely incredible—thank you for sharing this with us, friend

Thank you so much for this talk Tony, it is excellent. Such a shame that we didn’t heed and learn from the wisdom and insights of the First Nations people. We have a lot of work to do to try to fix some of the issues we created. If we all do something each day to help our earth it will make a difference. Take care 🙏

Such powerful, beautiful words still heartbreakingly meaningful for our world today. Than you Tony 💔

Beautiful 💚sad 💚so wise …. why didn’t we listen then 💚 many are listening now and we pray it’s not too late 💚
Thank you Tony for your gentle wisdom 💜

We really need to snap out of our current view of conquer, own, separateness...I crave and long for a more moderate and meaningful way of life and people (the two-legged kind) with whom I may enjoy it.
