All faith traditions offer a perspective on planet Earth, this place we humans call home. The perspectives vary greatly, from the Earth being sacred, to all things worldly being simply an illusion, and even that the Earth is or will soon be the battleground between the ultimate forces of evil and God. The perspective one holds about the Earth can make a great deal of difference regarding how one relates to and lives on this planet. On this Earth Day, the sacredness of the Earth will be considered through the perspective of Judaic scripture as well as the spiritual traditions and teachings of one particular group of indigenous peoples of this continent, the Sioux.
