The time is right now. Later will be too late.” —Hopi elder Thomas Banyacya, from the introduction\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eAlthough for a great many people, the human impact on the Earth—countless species becoming extinct, pandemics claiming millions of lives, and climate crisis causing worldwide social and environmental upheaval—was not apparent until recently, this is not the case for all people or cultures. For the Indigenous people of the world, radical alteration of the planet, and of life itself, is a story that is many generations long. They have had to adapt, to persevere, and to be courageous and resourceful in the face of genocide and destruction—and their experience has given them a unique understanding of civilizational devastation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eAn innovative work of research and reportage, \u003cem data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eWe Are the Middle of Forever\u003c\/em\u003e places Indigenous voices at the center of conversations about today’s environmental crisis. The book draws on interviews with people from different North American Indigenous cultures and communities, generations, and geographic regions, who share their knowledge and experience, their questions, their observations, and their dreams of maintaining the best relationship possible to all of life. A welcome antidote to the despair arising from the climate crisis, \u003cem data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eWe Are the Middle of Forever\u003c\/em\u003e brings to the forefront the perspectives of those who have long been attuned to climate change and will be an indispensable aid to those looking for new and different ideas and responses to the challenges we face.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Friends of Santa Cruz State Parks Online ParkStore","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42713717604513,"sku":"14186","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0444\/8233\/0785\/products\/middleofforever.jpg?v=1668712070","url":"https:\/\/thatsmyparkstore.com\/products\/hardcover-bookshop-org-barnes-and-noble-amazon-we-are-the-middle-of-forever-indigenous-voices-from-turtle-island-on-the-changing-earth","provider":"Friends of Santa Cruz State Parks Online ParkStore ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
