@stellabelle, since my short stay in this platform I was curious to see why people where ra ibg about you. I didn't run to your profile to find out but got caught up today with the headline of this post.
I'm so glad to have found this early on as it's going to be part of my building blocks in Steemit.
Wealth is so relative as most of us associate it with money, when it's only a corner of the wonky wheel. Try to feel wealthy by holding a billion in the bank while shitting your guts out in the toilet from some sort of disease. I bet the less we can think of is the billions in the bank. Unless you're a dick, or maybe I'm talking because I don't have the billions in the bank 😸 , but I had experience it with little. Money buys comfort but not happiness, a nice car, a nice house can only be so comfortable without friends, without health, without spiritual fulfilment.
The Americans (the ones that arrive later) they implemented by force in the natives to say "my land" instead of "our land" and so on.
There's an excellent video explaining the atrocities that the natives had to go through.
Lucky some good souls are still carrying on the pole of Hope like you.
I'm a believer of @stellabelle because of this Post only !
Gift on!

i grew up in an intentional community where we share land. It's not amish or anything, but i believe this concept has impacted the way i think and live. I thought it was normal to have a large area of land that is communal, and shared with the community members. I still live this way, with shared land. It has advantages over individiual ownership.....and the group watching out for each other has advantages as well.
NIce! Very few people of modern times even look into the best practices of indigenous peoples. They had a wealthier mindset than us, always did.......I see this kind of living re-emerging as we realize that our natural resources are indeed limited.
