The animal connection is a fundamental point… I think this was one of the basic things known to native americans… and also a zone of disconnect between consumer culture and what was well known to them… to live in and among animals on their terms as much as on yours is greatly unlike the suburbanized, homogenized, plasticized way of life we seem to be so proud of, in many ways so defensive of… Yeah, you can have mental connections with animal…
