A World Of Relationship

The Wikipedia article on Derrick Jensen notes that: Many indigenous peoples suggest that the primary difference between Western and indigenous perspectives is that even the most open-minded Westerners generally view listening to the natural world as a metaphor, as opposed to the way the world works. Many indigenous peoples suggest that the world consists of other beings with whom we can enter into relationship, as opposed to the more western belief that the world consists of objects or resources to be exploited or used. I'm not indigenous, in the sense that the author in Wikipedia is using the term, but I think that this is exactly what I believe.
