Who have we become since evolving from our hunter-gatherer ancestors? While we may be under the impression that our lives have been made more manageable due to the myriad conveniences at home and in the work place, they're actually more complicated, stressful and dangerous. The First Peoples, however, have remained largely unchanged over the past several thousand years. As such, they want no part of our world. They are not seduced by our conveniences or modern way of life. It is at this juncture in our evolution that we would do well to incorporate native wisdom into our own cultures which appear to be teetering on the brink. This book probes our early ancestral choices to 'civilize' and the price tag that came with those choices. The book also points to a unique opportunity to reconnect with nature and a deeper understanding of ourselves
