Tribal leaders, educators, activists and elders have expressed great appreciation for the book, which is being used by many educational institutions.

“Buckminster Fuller once complained that the earth had come without a good operating manual. In fact, though, there are an awful lot of instructions that have stood the test of time. Since we’re clearly making a mess of things at the moment, it might be wise to pay some attention.” Bill McKibben, author, Eaarth, The End of Nature, Co-Founder 350.org
