ALTERNATIVES TO DEVELOPMENT:
ENVIRONMENTAL VALUES OF
INDIGENOUS PEOPLES
In the original religions of many indigenous peoples there is the belief that human
beings are thinking, acting and growing individuals with souls or spirits. This belief
also applies to animals and plants, which live and grow, and may have influence upon
our daily lives. Even the different phenomena in nature, the sun and moon which run
from east to west, sunbeams which give warmth and growth, water which gives life,
rivers which run, snow which comes and disappears again, volcanoes, dangerous and
noisy lightning and more, were for our ancestors, and many of us still, the natural
world. This world exists as a balance between natural and supernatural forces.
Nature is a real environment that one must accept. Through experience and through
different rituals, indigenous peoples have learned to live in harmony with nature.
Not until the intervention of European political states was the harmony between
human beings and nature upset. The balance between the natural and supernatural
was, and continues to be, violently disrupted by those who would seek short term
benefits by extracting natural resources at rates, and in amounts, greater than can
be naturally replaced. Political states have grown so rapidly in the past two hundred
years that they now consume resources in excess of their own ability to produce
them. The demand for consumable resources has increased so rapidly that
shortages have multiplied to the extent that basic natural resources like water,
petroleum and timber are increasingly difficult to secure.
The motivating force behind the misuse of natural resources is growth of
consumption and the idea of progress. Because native peoples live in close proximity
to the natural world and the supernatural world, a relative balance is maintained
through limited growth and moderate consumption. Life could not be sustained
without limits and moderation. Even political states recognize that limits must be
placed on the consumption of natural resources when there are shortages, but
instead of cutting back expectations and reducing the long-term use of certain
resources, new goals are set for exploration and exploitation. Such new demands
place new pressures on the fragile ecology and threaten the long-term future
of humankind.

Teacher Notes: Aboriginal Perspectives on the Land
The needs and interests of political states and
indigenous groups are in many ways diametrically
opposed to one another. Political states view
uncontrolled growth and progress as the highest ideals,
while indigenous groups regard balance and limited
growth as essential to their livelihood. From all
appearances these ideas cannot be reconciled. We must
reconcile the differences or a great deal of humankind will not survive. There is
more to bind humankind together than should separate. There is a common belief in
the human potential and a common belief that human beings should determine their
own future. There is the common belief that human beings should be free and that
the rights of a people should be respected. We also have in common the belief that
the world should have a new economic order, which ensures the health and future
of all peoples. In order to maximize human commonalities we must be willing to
accept compromises and lower our expectations. We must agree that a new
economic order must provide for all of humanity and not merely for a few. We must
recognize that a new economic order cannot benefit all of human kind if it permits
exploitation of one group by another group. A new economic order must mean the
protection and preservation of nature and a restored balance. We have several
proposals, which we believe will increase the likelihood that a new international
order will benefit humankind. We propose that:
●
Industrial states must not compete with tribal groups for their resources.
Indigenous resources must be used only with the clear consent of the
groups affected.
●
Industrial states must institute new policies, which require a substantial
reduction in the use of timber, petroleum, water and all other raw materials.
●
The responsibility for initiating outside contacts between indigenous peoples
and political states must rest with the tribal peoples themselves.
●
National governments and
international organizations must
recognize and support tribal rights
to their traditional land, cultural
autonomy, and full local
sovereignty.

●
The United Nations should, with the concurrence of affected indigenous
peoples, declare internationally protected “autonomous indigenous areas”
secured by aboriginal title and established to preserve and protect the right of
self-determination for indigenous peoples, and protect natural resources from
external exploitation and encroachment without the consent of local indigenous
populations and international supervision.
●
The United Nations must establish an international organization, which includes
membership from the political states and indigenous peoples for the purpose of
reviewing grievances and claims proclaimed by indigenous peoples, and such an
organization must be empowered to address the U.N. Security Council and U.N.
General Assembly to promote redress of authenticated grievances.
●
The United Nations must establish an international organization which includes
membership from the political states and indigenous peoples for the purpose of
offering financial aid and technical assistance to indigenous peoples when they
initiate a request, and such a financial and technical aid organization should be
empowered to secure such financial commitments from other world
organizations and political states as may be necessary to the needs of
indigenous peoples.
Change in the lives of indigenous peoples is a condition, which has always existed.
Serious changes have given rise to serious re-adaptations to the new condition.
Indigenous peoples represent many peoples, many cultures and different ways of
thinking. But, they share the same natural world and the same spiritual world. As we
close this presentation, we cannot help but observe that industrial political states
have risen and seem to be in decline since their emergence just over two hundred
years ago. Tribal societies have existed for aver 10,000 years and continue to adapt
and adjust. Which is the better way, growth and consumption or balance?

Honouring Earth – From the Assembly of First Nations
https://www.afn.ca/honoring-earth/
From the realms of the human world, the sky dwellers, the water beings, forest creatures and all other forms of life, the beautiful Mother Earth
gives birth to, nurtures and sustains all life. Mother Earth provides us with our food and clean water sources. She bestows us with materials for
our homes, clothes and tools. She provides all life with raw materials for our industry, ingenuity and progress. She is the basis of who we are as
“real human beings” that include our languages, our cultures, our knowledge and wisdom to know how to conduct ourselves in a good way. If
we listen from the place of connection to the Spirit That Lives in All Things, Mother Earth teaches what we need to know to take care of her
and all her children. All are provided by our mother, the Earth.
Indigenous peoples are caretakers of Mother Earth and realize and respect her gifts of water, air and fire. First Nations peoples’ have a special
relationship with the earth and all living things in it. This relationship is based on a profound spiritual connection to Mother Earth that guided
indigenous peoples to practice reverence, humility and reciprocity. It is also based on the subsistence needs and values extending back
thousands of years. Hunting, gathering, and fishing to secure food includes harvesting food for self, family, the elderly, widows, the
community, and for ceremonial purposes. Everything is taken and used with the understanding that we take only what we need, and we must
use great care and be aware of how we take and how much of it so that future generations will not be put in peril.
Environmental degradation affects the health and well-being of not only the First Nations people but all peoples of North America and the
world in many ways. First Nations peoples do not yet know all the ways harmful man-made substances affects fish, wildlife, habitat, and
human beings. However, First Nations people are aware that pollutants and contaminants, especially those originating from industrial
development, have negative consequences for the health of all living things, including humans. Industrial contamination and disruption of
wildlife habitat combine to reduce the supply and purity of traditional foods and herbal medicines. Finally, degradation erodes the quality of
life dependent on the purity of the land, water, flora and fauna, and further affects Indigenous people’s cultures, languages and spiritual health
and well-being.
First Nations peoples can demonstrate how, in asserting their land use and rights, economic initiatives can be both profitable and sustainable
for future generations. First Nation traditional knowledge has provided our people with the tools to care for Mother Earth and our sacred sites.
This knowledge can be shared with industry for the betterment and survival of all peoples.
