Approximate English translation: Let us therefore be without anxiety, French, Canadians, and Métis, let us work together not only without suspicion but also with great friendship, according to the fact that God wishes to use us all to found the Metis-Canadian-French people. News and Reflections: What happens when you take more than the land can provide? -- May 23, 20255/23/2025
"Humans...The land provides everything that anybody would need. If you take only what you need, the land renews itself so that it can provide more. Medicines, water, plants, meat. In exchange, because we don’t really have anything the land wants, we honor it for what it gives us...When you take more than the land can provide, it stops giving. It can’t give. That’s what’s happened here. That’s what happens with humans." -- David A. Robertson (author) Source: Robertson, D. (2020). The barren grounds. Puffin Canada.
