Sacred Geography Quotes

“When the anthropologist asked the Kwakiutl for a map of their coast, they told him stories:

"Here? Salmon gather. Here? Sea otter camps. Here seal sleep. Here we say body covered with mouths."

How can a place have a name? A man, a woman may have a name, but they die.

We are a story until we die. Then our names are very dangerous.

A place is a story happening many times.”
― Ralph Metzner, Green Psychology: Transforming our Relationship to the Earth
