In 2012, In twenty twelve, a delegation of Native Inuit Elders from the Arctic traveled to NASA headquarters in Washington D.C. to speak with officials about how the environment tis impacting their communities.
During the meeting, the elders shared their traditional knowledge and offered guidance on how to protect the environment and mitigate the effects of a changing planet. One of the elders, Angaangaq Angakkorsuaq, a shaman from Greenland, spoke about the importance of respecting nature and the need for humans to reconnect with the Earth.

Frequently Asked Questions
What lessons can history teach us?
We have three lessons from history. To change the world, you have to do it all yourself. Second, it is essential to prepare people for change if you want to transform their lives. Third, you can't change the past without changing the future.
The first lesson is that you can change the world in two ways. One is fighting for it, the other is creating it. When you fight for it, you focus on winning and lose sight of why you started fighting in the first place.
You can't control how people react to your ideas, but you can control how you present them. If you attempt to convince someone of something, you'll fail. But, if your goal is to inspire someone to act, you'll be successful.
Most great movements began because somebody had an idea and decided to act upon it. No matter whether you are creating change, or reacting to it. Here are three ways you can make your mark: Be clear about the things you want, be honest with where you came from, be courageous enough to go where no other person has gone before, and be clear about who you are.
Second, we have the ability to choose. We can either allow our lives to unfold, or choose to create them. This means that it is up to us to decide how we want our lives to be. Do we wait for someone else to permit us to live? Or are we ready to decide our fate?
I'd argue that we're living in a golden age right now. This is a time of great opportunity, which creates a lot excitement. It's exciting to see people feel empowered to shape their future.
It also presents a problem. It's hard to know what you want.
Let's assume you want to purchase a house. You could wait and see if someone gives you Home Depot gift certificates. Or you could ask yourself, "What would I love to do?" Next, find a job that allows you to do this. Finally, apply for financing.
Now let's imagine you wanted to travel around the world. Perhaps you are asking, "Where do i want to go?" You'd then begin saving money, researching different countries online and speaking with friends. Finally, you would book a plane.
Let's pretend you didn’t know what your goal was. You would most likely do one of these things. By asking yourself such questions, you increase the likelihood of getting what your heart desires. It may seem silly, but it works.
The third lesson is that regardless of what happens next, there are always ways to improve the future. It is easy to see why. Your choices determine who you are and who you become.
The trick to success is to look back at history and learn from their mistakes and successes.
If you don’t believe that you have anything to contribute, then you are already behind. You must believe that you are capable of doing more than you thought possible.
If you don't know where to begin, start with what you know. Start small, and work your way up. Think about what you've learned throughout your life. What have you failed at? What have you succeeded at? How have you overcome obstacles?
You are the only person who can limit what you can do. No matter what anyone says, you can do anything you put your mind to.
In the words of Benjamin Franklin, "Nothing will work unless you do."
What is the greatest thing about history?
This question doesn't have an easy answer. When thinking about learning, there are three key points you should consider. The first is to realize that knowledge can be power. Second, it is important to recognize that knowledge is cumulative. Third, it is important to recognize how rapidly knowledge changes.
Knowledge is power. It allows us to make better decisions, and improve our lives. If we had complete information, we wouldn't have any difficulty making decisions. We'd do what we want, without worrying about whether it was correct or not.
However, while knowledge is power, it is also cumulative. This means that knowledge is not only powerful, but also cumulative. As time goes on, we become smarter. Knowledge accumulates.
Let's now look at the third. Although knowledge is cumulative it doesn't remain static for very long. Knowledge is ever-changing. Scientists discover new theories and facts every day. Every day, scientists discover new facts and theories.
Technology allows us to quickly access knowledge, and is crucial for our culture. Technology allows us to save vast amounts data and share it between millions of people across the globe.
In addition to technology, globalization has changed the way we view knowledge. Globalization refers simply to the process by which ideas or products spread beyond borders. Knowledge is now easily accessible all over the world because of globalization.
The internet allows anyone to access information any where in the world. Everybody can read books and watch movies. They can also listen to music, play games, or surf the internet. Knowledge is required for all of these activities.
Knowledge is becoming more accessible but also more specialized. There are hundreds of thousands upon thousands of websites today offering advice on topics like health, finance and business, as well as sports, travel, and cooking. These sites have information on every topic.
If you want to buy a car online, however, you will likely only find a few dozen websites that provide automotive-related services. There will not be thousands of sites that cover every subject. You'll only find a handful of sites that specialize in cars.
Because experts in certain fields can share and create valuable knowledge, this is why specialization is important. Experts often have deep knowledge of a field. Experts can also produce content of high quality that is targeted to their particular audience.
Because consumers don't need to scroll through endless amounts of information, they can focus on a specific niche. Instead, they can focus on a small number of sites with lots of useful content.
Experts also gain from specialization, as they can create strong businesses around the expertise that they have. He expects the author of a book to have a thorough knowledge of his subject to provide a clear and concise explanation. He wants to feel confident that the author is able to convey his message.
If an expert does not specialize, he risks losing out on potential customers who expect him to be knowledgeable.
The scope of specialization doesn't stop at one area. Today, most of us are specialists in many different areas. One might be an accountant, lawyer, doctor, teacher, or other specialist. Not only are we likely to be a parent or spouse, but also friends, family, and fans.
Specialization is so common that some experts argue that it's impossible to succeed without being an expert in several different things.
So how do you become an expert in multiple areas? It's simple: practice. It's necessary to work hard to learn. Once you've made progress, keep going until people are able to recognize your knowledge.
Today, entire industries are dedicated to helping others achieve their goals. People can quickly learn through courses, workshops seminars, conferences, schools and other venues.
Do we have to learn history in order to avoid making the same mistakes as before?
History repeats itself because we keep making similar mistakes over and again. We make mistakes and fail to learn. We don't change. We become complacent. We settle for mediocrity.
Because we continue to believe the same old stories, history repeats itself. We have been taught to believe there are unchanging laws and fixed truths. These laws are unchangeable and we have no control over them.
This makes it difficult to think critically. From challenging authority. From challenging assumptions. When we do not question, we stagnate. We stagnate when we don’t grow. We repeat the same mistakes when we stagnate.
Because we make the same mistakes, history doesn't have to repeat itself. History repeats itself because we refuse to learn from our mistakes and instead continue to make the same ones over and over.
You can break the cycle of history repetition by changing how you look at the world and yourself, by understanding that nothing is set in stone. Nothing is fixed. Everything is constantly changing.
To break the cycle, embrace uncertainty. Accepting the possibility of things going wrong. To accept the possibility of failure. Accept that failure may be possible.
Accept that you may never achieve your goals. But to accept that, you should strive to improve anyway.
You will always remain stuck in the past if you hold on to certainty. If you insist on the existence of fixed truths, then you will never move forward.
Freedom is only possible if you are willing to let go. If you want progress, you need to let go of control.

How To
What can humankind learn from the past mistakes of our ancestors?
We've been there before and we'll likely be back. But there's nothing wrong with learning from history. It may even help humanity weather another crisis.
If we keep an open mind and look for lessons to guide us forward, we may make it out alive.
The problem is when we fail to learn from the past and refuse to acknowledge that human nature hasn't changed much since the beginning of time.
There's a lot of wisdom in the old ways, but we tend to ignore them because they conflict with our beliefs. So instead of embracing changes, we find difficult, we cling to the familiar.
But the world continues to change and our lives are constantly evolving. The environment we live in is getting more complicated, which means that there are more problems to be solved.
We must change. And that makes us vulnerable to failure because we won't be able to rely on the same strategies that worked before.
When we do that, we lose sight of our values and become slaves to our habits.
Our brains evolved to adapt and cope with conditions that existed thousands upon thousands of year ago. But those days aren't gone forever.
The future is not set in stone. There is still much to be done.
Humans still have the ability to accomplish amazing feats. Amazing technologies are possible. To explore new frontiers and discover unexplored territories.
And yet, we often choose to limit ourselves. To fear change. To reject evolution. To believe that what worked yesterday can work tomorrow.
Some people are trying to reverse this trend. They see themselves to be warriors against this status quo. Fighting against the establishment. Against the system.
They consider themselves rebels and take pride in challenging convention. Who challenge the norms and conventions of society.
They defy rules and regulations. They hate conformity. They are not concerned about social expectations. They believe they are better than others.
These people, I wish them all good luck!
You'll need it!
You're facing a difficult battle. The forces that drive mainstream society's success are powerful.
The majority of people in many countries around the world are not interested in your views. No interest in listening to your point.
It doesn't matter how well-intentioned or brilliant you are. Your ideas may not be popular with the masses.
Your message could go unheard. You'll need to learn strange lessons from history.
Because that's where the real power is. You can make a real difference here.
This is where people can be inspired to follow their dreams. These are the places where you can make a difference and transform the world.
Let me ask, what do you want? Is it your goal to live up the other person's expectations all of the time? Or would you rather set your path?
