The document discusses the importance of listening deeply to indigenous and traditional knowledge from around the world. It argues that while the modern world is very different, there are still lessons that can be learned from indigenous cultures about living sustainably. Specifically, it advocates taking a cross-cultural, systems-oriented approach to understanding natural and social patterns and connections in order to shape the unknown future in a way that considers all voices.

2. in dig e nous: originating or occurring
naturally in a particular place; native.

5. permaculture acknowledges indigenous and
traditional people as the big source for what we need
to do in the future..
*but not in the way that we need to exactly copy it in
exactly the same place because the world has changed.. those
soils are diff..
**all the cultures of the planet have been scrambled..
we are dealing w/1000 broken jigsaw puzzles.. of which we
need to take pieces that we think might be useful.. and
***head over the horizon to a future we don’t know..

*chaos ness from Jim‘s doc..
**the need to listen deeply to every voice.. now.. to now..
***begs we leap.. (for (blank)’s sake…) ..to a nother way.. where we can listen to all the voices…

6. 39 min – we all need to become
indigenous.. and help with the process of
rediscovering of what’s been lost…

7. The adjective indigenous is derived from the Latin
word indigena, which is based on the root gen- ‘to
be born’ with an archaic form of the prefix in ‘in’.
Any given people, ethnic group or community may
be described as indigenous in reference to some
particular region or location that they see as their
traditional tribal land claim. Other terms used to
refer to indigenous populations are aboriginal,
native, original, or first (as in Canada’s First
Nations).

8. from documentary – changing the dream..
indigenous cultures across world have legends/prophecies that identify this time we’re living in as a
turning point for humanity.. one such legend: prophecy of the eagle and the condor
prophecy of eagle (represents how culture’s used creativity of
mind and science insight to harness the wonders of tech and increased
material wealth) and condor (more spiritual.. deeply in touch
with sacredness of natural world and the interconnectedness of all
things)

9. 6 min – John Perkins (@economic_hitman): this legend said that every 500 yrs go thru cycles.. last..
began end of 1400s.. predicted eagle would dominate.. but w/in 500 yrs.. would change.. and
the eagle and condor would fly
together..in same skies
ni ness..
a and a
from documentary – changing the dream..

10. Domingo Paez (achuar leader): we believe that all human beings need to integrate
these two worlds..without minimizing the value of their own knowledge.. we need to
bring together these *two ways of knowing..keeping the good and rejecting
the bad.. for the benefit of the achuar people and the whole world..
well perhaps.. *all the ways.. beyond binary ness

11. part of tweet thread..
Aaron Paquette (@aaronpaquette) tweeted at 7:20 PM – 30 Dec 2016 :
There are over 600 Indigenous communities in Canada, all with their own priorities and perspectives.
Why not get to know them? (http://twitter.com/aaronpaquette/status/815019855623680000?s=17)
there are over 7 bn on planet… w own idiosyncracies…let’s host all of them… and facil that dance

12. listen to all the voices
mech simple enough.. (eagle ness).. as means to
listen to all the voices.. (condor ness)

13. so to me..
being indigenous..
another way to say..
listen deeper..
to self
to other
to all the things

7 min – understanding how those collective structures
worked.. how people lived in traditional/indigenous societies
is core to permaculture..
8 min – coming about by seeing how much we needed to
learn by direct observation.. rather than books.. being
open to what is around… today.. and what was here
yesterday/10 yrs ago.. et al.. to be aware of all that.. not in
just some intellectual way.. but a patterned way of the world
around you..

11 min – being able to see by a contemplative awareness.. just curious..
to understand nature.. then start to see all the patterns/connections.. signs
from past.. where it’s going..
12 min – understanding the landscape.. then overflowing to other people..
if we are in a rush to achieve some goal.. doesn’t really
work.. we have to just be open.. and then we accumulate
understanding..
13 min – if not going to be open.. better to just go and do what you’re told…
the answer is that deeper awareness…

16. 15 min – our senses are all turned down.. because of heavy sensory input
from industrial world.. need to turn up the volume/sensitivity to
see the subtle/small/slow-moving things.. and maybe that’s
the same with people.. what’s the really underlying thing that’s behind
what people are saying… what pain are they carrying.. what hidden
powers.. history/lineage… capabilities.. people can be completely
surprising in same way that nature can be
