Survivalist Tip: Since today is Earth Day, I wanted to remind everyone that the ancient Mayans and other indigenous peoples of the Americas considered their environment sacred. Most Indian nations believed in a “Mother Earth” and “Father Sun” type of ideology; that is, humanity was born of a union between the Earth and the Sun. And, therefore, Native Americans respected and honored them as their parents. It’s a great philosophy to have and practice each day. So, as this Earth Day comes to a close, just remember how our ancestors revered the natural elements of their world. It’ll be good for you – the Mayan deities won’t sling you into the muddy underworld come the apocalypse!
