Wow @harrysummer! Where do I even begin?
Firstly thank you kindly for submitting such a 'mindful' and extensive reply. :c) Oh, and welcome to Steemit!
Many of the things that you mention ring true and I especially enjoyed your sharing the native americans' ways (of which I am mostly ignorant). It does seem that they had a healthy and wise relationship with the Earth.
The puns were sans ational also. ;c)
I admit that I will need to re-read your comment in the morning - as I feel that a fresher mind will garner even more. In short, an awesome comment!
Oh! Since you're new here, here is a post that you will likely find helpful. You are already on the right track. ^_^
