Peru's Quechua mothers and Yellow-rumped Cacique families gather in the morning to share their stories. We gather together for safety and security. We share information on food, shelter, and protection from the elements. We share all essential needs of life in common with wildlife. When the needs of humankind clash or converge with the needs of wildlife, we compete for the very essentials of life. We must question the legitimacy of our superior claim to all resources and find a balance that insures survival of all earth's inhabitant's.
