![There is no word – a film by Carmel Whittle
As part of the Rethinking Nature Protection art call launched by Greenpeace Canada, 5 artists have created original work envisioning what better, decolonized protection of the natural world looks like.
Written, directed and edited by Carmel Whittle, this film is about rethinking nature protection: why we should and how we can do this. The narrator describes the basis for this rethinking: we are nature and not separate from nature. Therefore taking care of nature is taking care of ourselves. She teaches us the Seven Grandfather Teachings as a profound way of bringing this understanding into our lives – only truly thriving as the environment thrives. Doing the right thing requires that we care for, nurture, and heal every element of our environments: the air, waters, rock, plants, trees and all creatures. This way of thinking is rising in the world today, and from youth to elder the understanding is growing. Please listen to these teachings, and to nature.
