Module 1 Posting 2 : Nature Connection

The thematic connotation of the discussions raised in this module made me focus on one of the most important aspects in Module 1 ( and even in the coming Modules). It is the conceptual relationship between the First Nation people and the land. It is simply looked at as a holy connection that has to be respect all the time. Consequently, the effect this relationship is great on the behaviour of the individual who belongs to any First Nations tribe. One of the interesting sources of information about the theme under study is a project done by David Suzuki  . The topic tackled by Suzuki might appear as merely an overview of some environmental issues. However, I feel there is a huge issue discussed behind the scenes in this DVD which is the relationship between people and nature. I like the idea of  “healing” the relationship between nature and people. I think watching this DVD will sharpen our understanding of the scared connection between the First Nations people and nature. Canada is on the lead when it comes showing respect to nature. Probably  this was instigated by the First Nation people.

The DVD is called:  The nature connection with David Suzuki
I believe it was made in 2000. It is available in the libraries here in Vancouver and also online (youtube)
