This program features Native American Chief Oren Lyons, a leader in the international environmental movement, who shares with Bill Moyers the ancient legends, prophecies, and wisdom that guide the Onondaga tribe. They explore the view of the earth as sacred; the Great Law of Six Nations, which envisions humans and the earth as one; the importance of community to Native Americans; and the extent to which Native American philosophies have affected the dominant American culture. Lyons shares the spiritual basis of his environmentalism - a vision of the degradation of the earth that was revealed to the Onondaga nation in 1799.
