“In our traditional culture, we ‘read’ nature (the environment). We must read and interpret the information we find there, so that we can survive. We use our eyes and brains just like you. We also use our other senses – smell, hearing, taste and touch – to read the coming weather, the presence of danger, and the health of the land, waters and air.”
