Before you can solve a problem, you have to identify it, you have to own it, you have to, you have to recognize it, you have to know where it came from. You have to understand its Genesis. And I think until we understand the cultural crisis, that this unending consumption way of life, this wetiko of life, has brought us that we can't, we can't solve it, I had a conversation, I relate this in my book, Last Hours of Ancient Sunlight, with Professor Jack Forbes, who was the professor of Native American studies at UC Davis, back in the day, he's passed away now. But he wrote a book called Columbus and other Cannibals that blew my mind. And so I went out and met him at UC Davis. And, and, and he was, you know, so very, very clear about this, that, that until Western society understands what not just what they have done to Native people, but what they have lost as a consequence of doing this, the wisdom that they have lost the the, the 1000s of years, millennia of learnings that they have lost. There, it won't be possible to fix things he described. He gave me this word wetiko. He said wetiko is, I believe, was Lakota word. And Aiza literally translates to cannibal. It's one who eats another person's life, their flesh, but their life. Mm hmm And And he said, When Native Americans were, you know, first encountered Europeans, When Europeans first came here, at least, you know, maybe the second time that they came to North America, you know, Jamestown kind of melted into the forest, apparently, they said, Okay, let's go live with the Indians. But after that, when they came with the guns and the horses and things, he said, basically, you know, my, my ancestors were presented with a couple of choices. They could they could run, which many of them did. They could integrate, you know, which wasn't even an option in many cases. Or they could, or they could fight. But if they fought, because the Europeans were engaging in genocidal warfare, which was largely unknown among native tribes in North America, because you have to live with the people next door. And you're, you know, and you don't want to take their land because their ghosts are on their land, and your ghosts are on your land. And so, you know, we, they would have wars, Indian Wars, where they would do something called counting coup, which is where you draw one drop of blood, and that person's out of the game. They invented lacrosse, there's a painting in the in the Capitol building, or maybe it's in the White House, this giant painting, of like 1000s of Indians engaged in, you know, in this huge area in upstate New York, having this lacrosse game, you know, and is something that the painter actually witnessed in this in the 16 or 1700s. And this is how they would solve tribal disputes, was by playing lacrosse. So anyhow, you know, Jack Forbes was like, you know, those were our choices. And if we fought we became you, we became wetiko. And, you know, which was, in some ways, maybe even the worst option. And so he was like, you know, you guys, you white people, you have to solve your wetiko problem, you have to resolve your, cannibalistic cultural insanity. And until you do, that life's gonna be tough.
