Traditional Knowledge
“Everything has a meaning, a benefit, and a purpose. If we take it for granted, it won’t be there. We need to appreciate things that are there for our benefit. The other thing I learned was … if you take something, always give something back. The children would take berries, but also put an offering on the ground.”
