I knew of the harmful environmental impacts of the tar sands, but not of their far-reaching impact into the communities downriver all the way to Athabasca Lake’s shores in Saskatchewan. And thank-you for teaching us what it means to live as “people of the land”. I have learned much.

“People of the land scattered upon concrete and asphalt”……thank you, Vivian, for such a sharp insight and reminder of the abundance of the land and the sterility of our industrial ways of life.

Almost sixty years ago I lived in an Inuit village which still had a number of families living in snow houses. Hunting and fishing were still the main sources of food and clothing. There was very little alcohol and people lived very healthy lives. I was Principal of the School and had the strong support of the parents. It was a wonderful experience which I shall always treasure. I learned a lot from these wonderful people. However, vast changes have occurred since that time.

Thank you for this insight into the abundance we disparage in the name of “economic growth”. I have been blind to your experience, and I don’t know what love is. You have given me a glimpse.
