GOT LAND?

The T-Shirt in the beginning of this piece gets the point across. "Got land?" The indigenous in many regions of the world were forced off their land, their livelihoods. As Americans settle in certain areas, a neo-indigenous population is emerging, many of whom are descendants of Anglo-Saxons. But as the natives always said, "You can not kill our spirit. It will remain in the trees and waters around you and shall reappear once again in your children." Just like a clear-cut parcel, it wants to immediately go back to a lush old growth forest.
Tribal roots want to emerge again in new ways, below is an example of a modern family attempting just that.
