Creative Speculation

Indigenous Worldview and mythology is not designed with the either/or philosophy of functional worldviews. By functional, consider the Industrial Revolutions contribution to language. Each word is designed to play a single part in phrases in order to carry out the task the sentence conveys. Even in the most creative novels, every sentence tends to tell it like it is. Indigenous worldview is sometimes like this. But when telling story one word may have several meanings that relate to an epic of experiences tied into certain values expected by the youth hearing the story who follows the elder speaker by way of passage rite into the story itself which weaves the human identity into the land. Given the necessary and universal appeal of this worldview, you will find the same story branching out all over the world. So Turtle Island can be any mountain or any island. To say it is Easter Island, the most remote location on earth, is to say that all people can share in the values of this story.
