Maher speaks about the idea of cultural sustainability in terms of preserving the strengths and gifts of indigenous cultures and instilling youth with a strong sense of responsibility and belonging. In response to a few questions I've received, yes, share and use these clips freely. For example, if you are an educator you may find them useful in the classroom to introduce a topic or stimulate discussion. Indeed, such efforts to share with others are greatly appreciated!

Yanity speaks to the question of why practicing the traditional culture of his people is important, and he shares how he has personally gained a deeper understanding of who he is as a result of reconnecting with his ancestral heritage. Sustainability is usually focused on the future, but the lessons, values and ways of our past may provide a rich set of answers to what our orientation should be as we move forward.
