The Great Laws of Nature: Indigenous Organic Agriculture Documentary 

This is one of the most BEAUTIFUL videos I've ever seen. It is filled with the utmost Wisdom and Inspiration, which, yet again, comes from The Indigenous Peoples of America. I've no doubt it will get *millions* of viewings and *hundreds* of comments. So come on folks, get writing on here, share this around the Planet, for we SO need to get back to this way of life, as never before. Thank you for making this..and for putting it on here. xx

As a Dutchy, I'm so very proud to see what's happening in North America, a growing community of organic farmers, common people of all colors working together and sharing their experiences and knowledge. This, as I perceive it, is what connects us with the land and with our true nature, expressed in freedom serving the self-esteem of wanderers who found themselves lost, one-day, now returning to connect through working the land. Serving themselves and .the benefit of a collective, and supporting those who find it a bit hard to make ends meet or leave the house to go shopping. Nature is my best teacher and inspiration and I've volunteered in communes in the UK, on Dutch organic farms and allotments since 1986.

Many First Nations People farmed for over thousands of years in Canada. They knew how to work the land and create sustainable farming more than any farmer today.

I am from the Kwatsan tribe of Fort Yuma. I can not wait to share this with my tribe. Thank you.

Natural Organic Agriculture is the best way to grow foods for life

Very interesting film. You're way ahead of the game when you can grow food independently of those who only think about profiting from food.

These human beings said it right. All human beings should be doing this and recognize that the Creator made us to do it!

Finally, a documentary that recognizes God, the Creator, from whom everything came. Please respect this work as we, who believe in God, respect all others. That makes us humans, different from animals. Thank you!

The indigenous folks never use a pronoun (in this case "he") to describe The Creator. It is always "The Creator."

Organic agriculture is a major cornerstone of Integral Transformation.

Wow, i am really impressed with this. I recently took an aboriginal tourism class at vancouver island university and wrote a research report on aboriginal agritourism and could not find resources at the time. I wish i had seen this video as the content is most beneficial.

Very inspiring, it's good to see traditional agricultural practices being reborn like this.

Mark Shepard uses something similar, along with modern keylining to replace typical irrigation. Shepard uses biome-appropriate, food- or feed- producing plants. If the plants refuse to grow well he replaces them with ones that grow easily, mature early, and are highly productive. He interplants rows of trees, vines and shrubs and alternates them with forage or food-producing perennials in what is called alley cropping. He mimics a savanna as it is the most productive system in nature. He uses livestock to help in managing weeds, culls, crop residues, fertility and pests, moving them frequently to mimic how wild animals move. Keylining at crucial times helps water the plants. Suggest people read his book Restoration Agriculture to find out more. It is good for wildlife, livestock, and people and is an efficient way to replace conventional agriculture.

Super! Natural-spirit! A Ray of Light...

Spread this around! All must know! So exciting to me!

Films like this inspires. Thank you.

AMAZING VIDEO, GREAT KNOWLEDGE & RESPECT!!! 5STARS!!!

that was good. a small but important view into ways we all could live if we respect the earth.

Very good programme

Great video. Such kind and loving people. We should all be like them.

Very inspiring -- thank you for your good work and helping us to remember our place in the Creator's dream.

This is so beautiful...thank you for sharing

Nicely done and so so true. Many thanks.

thank you 🙏

I have spent the summer planting organic community gardens on the Chippewa Georgina Island, Lake Simcoe. It is the noblest work I've done in my life. I love this video, but am distressed to see the overhead hydro lines over the garden. It is well known that the electromagnetic charges interfere with the DNA of plants, animals and humans.....I hope they can relocate their gardens to safer grounds. Peace.

these peopel are so wonderful and doing such important work

awesome video its awesome and its awesome to get the younger generation to learn about it the growing to. god bless

thank you for the great video. I grew up on a large conventional (chemical) farm in Saskatchewan but my eye are opening to a better way. this gives me many things to think about.

Loved it. Kudos to the Co-op. More power to you.

What a beautiful & inspiring video.We are trying to do the same thing here in Palestine but only on a smaller scale.Helping the indigenous people here sustain themselves & grow healthy organic food is not easy.It all starts with education, you cant get the people to work towards something they dont fully understand.Palestinians were once farmers but now so much of their lands stolen & they depend on food grown by the people who conquered them.TY4 this video.

Oops...I meant 'Canada' not 'America'...sorry. :0)

"When humans allow time to respectfully observe, interact with, investigate, experiment, wonder about or be in the midst of any portion of the natural world we are responding and have now entered into dialogue." This is in keeping with, (Definitions: Communing, Sustainability, Descendent, Family Values & Spiritual Genetics Context And So Continues The Meaning Of Life & Existence (Part 7d) )

its amazing how they respect and embrace life !!!!!!!!! I think every one should have this concept in their head "Do No Harm"

Thanks for your great and supportive response. Yes, time is of the essence in this day and age of the world. Forcing plants and animals to change and grow against their own will is destined to backfire. Then all hell will break loose. Going back now to approach the plants that give us life in a humble way, with the intent to forge a reciprocal relationship with them is only way things are going to get better in the world.

Great video! I salute you people who believe in organic farming this is the best way to take care the environment and to uplift healthy living. Thank you very much for sharing us your noble ideas. Keep up the good work. More power and GOD bless.

SMART AND VERY VERY HARD WORKS TO GET MORE PEACE OF MIND

Great video! I liked the interviews!

Guy at 755 should share with all other tribes, I’d love to see us grow our own not deal with pesticides & gm0 seeds. Love ❤️ this one Klecko klecko raise my hands up to you.

yes

I am getting by to nature. Thank you for this input on my journey! God bless you all. Keep at it.

@SurvivalPath yes, education is a huge part of this development. People have to know who they are and how they're connected to the land culturally and historically.

@LizzieCornish. Thanks for your support and encouragements. Yes, please share this video with your friends and the world. Let's make 2012 a year of transition back to the way all of our ancestors once lived in reciprocal harmony with nature. We need to start giving back in equal amounts whatever we take from the land. More than ever today our very survival as a human species depends on it.

Thank you for uploading .

I like this, and delve deep into practicing sustainable organic gardening and forestry. What the man says at the start I'm trying to wrap my head around - I see and hear territorial battles every day? Crows running off hawks, vines and grasses strangling and smothering out young trees, coyotes killing and eating other animals...the list goes on. In my opinion there can't be good, without the bad - but clearly there is as much competition as there is cooperation so rather it's a balance. How can we expect or gardens, or social interactions to be any different?

Fantastic.

Good massage for society

Another thing that you should probably start as a hemp Co-op which would have a shop for every use in the middle of ten thousand acres of hemp.

Great to see FN going back to organic farming. Sad to see the fields under the high power lines getting baked EMF

@invisiblewhitewoman. Yes we do market our veggies, mostly the potatoes.

it amazing documentary about natureal agriculture i love it so much ,, if only people can see this and take a leason from it ll' be the best , as your say natureal aagriculture is a way of life ,, more expecially your believe in the Creator with is God that is very good , i am a student in agriculture and i want to do organic agriculture this video has motivate me more about my projet ,,Thank

Thankyou for your vid. You guys and gals are amazing. I would love to help you smart ppl.

Outstanding. So simple. So complex at the same time.

@greatfulgoddess Thanks for your keen interest in every word said in the video, especially the teachings. You can contact to the producers of this video production about obtaining specific footage at rivard@rivard.tv

thanks.

Montagnard jarai tribe like this video

Tell me I did not see a native person pull up & discard dandelion in a potato patch. It would be great to see these people reclaim their orignial relationship to the land, engaging in what is now called 'permaculture' -working with nature growing many species together to produce a variety of food, plants & animals. Rediscovering traditional foods, methods of 'farming the wild', harvesting,etc. Instead of even a low chemical version of industrial farming (like row crops with bare soil between).

To re-establish communications with the plant spirits, to live in balance with all of nature: I think those practices need to spread everywhere. A gift from the First Nations peoples. Further back, did your ancestors hunt? What native plants did they cultivate? Perhaps you can do some of that as well as organic monocrop farming. Blessings to all in your good work.

The stereotypical picture of the native americans as the buffalo hunters of the great plains, was a relativly limited and late development in history. Before the Europeans brought horses to America, tribal areas where much smaller and hunting and migrating on a much lower scale. The plains were very scarcly populated by humans and the ratio of hunting to growing food plants was about 60:40. Thus a basic agriculture (in the summer) was essential for the survival of the people!

I agree..

amen to the first line of this documentary

Keep up the good work :)

@indigolifeworks Yes, contact the producers through this link: rivard@rivard.tv

@prairiedogcreek Very well said....and true. thanks.

i really loved this video,but i like 2 write down ea word & found it confusing when i tryed 2 focus on one word & train of thought @ a time,i wonder if you have a version of one person speaking @ a time before the remix so i may write down all the words.i need 2 research more videos like this i believe many would love 2 go back 2 the great ways of honoring mother earth/gaia,the way the native americans/indigenous tryed 2 teach us.god bless these teachers w/opulant abundant success 4 all thank u.

Look on google and google on 'back to Eden film' and enjoy the film!

@puffdragon26 Thanks. Times are changing and time to think of alternative and reciprocal ways of growing plants that will be a benefit to future generations.

amen

Some key things to note: organic does not mean clean. It just means "natural" chemicals are used instead of manmade chemicals. I prefer "natural", but marketing people have hijacked that term and abused the hell out of it. To me, naturally grown is the way nature intended. You put seed to dirt. You use no chemicals on it. You feed the soil so that the soil feeds the plant so that the plant feeds you. You plant the plants in a manner that compliments each other (companion planting, three sisters, etc). You irrigate with clean water if you must, but generally let nature handle it. You use real seed, not GMOs or fancy hybrids. Open-pollinated/Heirloom. Hybrids aren't bad, but they shouldn't be forced. If nature deems it needed to create a hybrid, so be it. If it is good, keep it and stabilize it. If it's not good, don't sow it again.

can I buy a copy of this video?? Is it on DVD???

@peakmoment Thanks, I'll share your message with the co-op members.

poetry and indigenous stories of mother earth don't make me less of a farmer whom cares for the land and tries to keep it sustainable ! Mukluks are great If they work ! Technology today allows us to take advantage of new Information and knowledge that we have been Ignorant of In the past . Modern , self sustaining organic farming and free range husbandry Is on the agenda ! We don't have to live In tepees or smoke peace pipes to make It happen ! Healthy and organic food Is what we need , that Is why everyone should support rural and local producers that don't use growth hormones or antibiotics ! Save the earth , and save ourselves !

@LizzieCornish Yes 2012 will be a momentous year for change.

Nice overcast skies due to plane trails! Say, where are our blue skies at anyways?

what state is this? much appreciated in forward...

@aprilreeves1 Yes it remains a mystery to scientist how these Indigenous food plants were developed by Native Americans. The plants were never domesticated as such, conquered, dominated, and forced to change and become palatable for human consumption. A long time ago reciprocal agreements were made between plants and humans, and in response the plants had altered themselves genetically to become palatable. We co-exist with them for the mutual benefit of sustenance and survival.

@puffdragon26 Thanks. I know how you feel. i think about this all the time and have recently started to learn and see the great importance of going organic, as this is what the world need now.

@3Gallagher. Thanks for your suggestion on planting in beds. Sounds like a great idea that may work for us. We are planning to plant our potatoes (our main crop) with various Indigenous vegetables mixed in, a system of planting that was done traditionally by Native Americans. We're still learning and planning the proper method of doing this and it sounds very similar to your suggestion.

This is inspiring. I am wondering, have you considered growing your plants in beds rather than rows? You would reduce the amount of land needed for paths and increase your growing space, and you would need to do less weeding. Two rows could equal a bed, and maybe even the equivalent of a third row to make up a four foot wide bed. With a good density in your planting you can virtually eliminate weeds from the beds and the number of foot paths would be almost cut in half.

@GetRealMusic1 Yes, Yes, YES! I agree with every word you've put there! 2012 The Year of The Indigenous Peoples of the World! :0)

Genisis 1:1 of the the bible. "In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.".... which if you break down this first sentence of the book. you can UNDERSTAND it also like... before the beginning God WAS. He created TIME. He created SPACE. and He created MATTER. scientists discovered this is the core of everything not long ago, believe it or not. yet it was written in the bible thousands of years ago

God created everything that exists. there isnt anything that exists that wasnt created by Him. except God, he had no creator. He had no beginning. nor will He have an end. and yes He told us in His word that he gave us the earth. He gave us dominion over every animal, every plant. as yu can see, we did not do too good lol... but we didnt do horrible either. the end is soo near, whEther we believe it or not. are yu covered by the blood of Jesus, which who actually really is the God Almighty. LOVE

Why would these people need to develop plants? Why would they not thrive in their eco-system as any animal? Beyond the complex interactions which underlies all life, of course, the way the bison created the fertility of the plains & savanahs that stretched to the Eastern Seaboard, as one example.

Money the great evil. These Indigenous people, the first ones here and banks won't lend them money to do something as good as this. Another vid saying that FL will begin penalizing persons living off the grid.

Why donot weed in your garden have

weeds thay missed.

Religious !!!

Say no for hybrid

A lot of the weeds are edible should research or look up eat the weeds.

Qd je les vois arracher les "indésirables " par ignorance et raison pour laquelle ils s'en débarrassent ...' les sois disant" anciennes natinos auraient du immiter avant elles beaucoup d'autres plus anciennes qui ne les arrachaient pas . ( François Couplan ) et de plus il est triste qu'il cultivent sous des lignes " haute tension "

they should practice Permaculture...

hey hey! Have you heard about - Opalar Incredible Garden Growth (just google it)? Ive heard some extraordinary things about it and my work buddy got great money with it.

a bit slow to keep me engaged. the native Americans were hard to listen to.
