"Here I am in Meig's County, it's Meig's County. Meig's County is Appalachia. Where do they put all the power plants that pollute? In the poor Appalachia. You know? You don't see them in Hollywood. You don't see them in Upper Arlington in Columbus. You don't see them in rich neighborhoods. There's a reason for that. You see them in Appalachia and on the Indian reservations because those people don't count."

Gifted Heritage. Borrowed Land.
"Treat the earth well: it was not given to you by your parents, it was loaned to you by your children. We do not inherit the Earth from our Ancestors, we borrow it from our Children." - Native American Proverb.
Cindy Parker reminded me of this proverb this weekend while we were driving back from a women farmers meeting, here. i was so thankful.
the photo is from haulin' hoof farm , where i've been spending time with valerie fox for the women and land project.
