He aimed his blowgun at a bird in a tree. Then he lowered it without shooting and stared at the bird.<\/p>\n<p class=\"sqsrte-large\" style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\">\u201cWhat happened?\u201d I asked.<\/p>\n<p class=\"sqsrte-large\" style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\">\u201cI realized that it\u2019s the nesting season for that bird. His mate is sitting on eggs. If I kill him, those eggs won\u2019t hatch.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"sqsrte-large\" style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\">Later that night, as we relaxed around the fire, he told me that Achuar men are raised to understand that the birds and animals they hunt must be loved. \u201cWe always ask permission before killing,\u201d he said. \u201cThat bird this afternoon did not give me permission.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"sqsrte-large\" style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\">While I know that, as individuals, indigenous people have their faults \u2013 like all of us \u2013 their traditional commitment to providing for future generations reflects a profound wisdom. They know, as we should, the importance of protecting that which serves them, their children and grandchildren. They may cut down a tree to build a home or provide wood for their fires or they may kill an animal for food, but they do so from a place of respect and a dedication to the future survival of all the things that make life livable. Let\u2019s learn from these incredible teachers!<\/p>\n<p class=\"sqsrte-large\" style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\">I\u2019m so looking forward to discussing these ideas (and much more) with my webinar group, starting in just one day \u2014 Friday, Nov. 3rd at 11 A.M.
