Kenneth Little Hawk was the noted speaker who addressed all the volunteers. Here he takes time to chat with some of them.
Little Hawk tells us that we should practice the sharing of cultures instead of treating each other differently and unfairly. All of our tools we use can be found in Nature, if we only open our minds and use our resources wisely.
