Zack Mahiques - Wilderness

In Turtle Island Gary Snyder discusses how we must reincorporate the wilderness into our lives. He says that the people that inhabit the realm are animals, people and varoius wildlife. According to Snyder we must include other people into our government before they revolt against us. I agree with what he says in this piece because he talks about losing nature. He also mentions some of the rituals that are performed for various ceremonies, uniting the participants with nature. Even more impressive is his friends tribe the Pueblo. He describes that the tribe only hunts when necessary and have the idea that if you make yourself available to the deer then it will present itself to you. Each part of the deer is used so that nothing is wasted, demonstrating how important nature is to the Pueblo.
