“Give yourself up to a particular landscape.”

What does this look like? We watched a video early in the semester about a tribe of natives who fully experienced the land they lived in. Their activities and rituals fully revolved around the animals in it and the environment. They painted using all natural materials, they worshipped in sacred places, they ate of the land and they slept in the slept in the land. They used every part of the land and respected it and felt an attachment to it. The sad thing is they were dieing out and had no way to preserve these traditions because their children did not see the point in avoiding technology and truly dwelling in the land.
