As Ovid Mercredi, Canadian native leader asserts - “We are caretakers of ‘ Mother Nature ‘ -
we are here a short time - ‘mother Nature ‘ is forever.

I believe we are all active participants in an ongoing adventure, living within the cycles of
uncharted, mysterious territory. Many cultures and generations before us have encompassed
similar courses. Therefore, I believe nothing is really new - only reinvented.
